‘Los Indios Tabajaras’ means ‘The Tabajaras Indians’. The Tabajaras tribe is from Brazil. The two guys on the album cover are Antenor and Nato Lima. They are responsible for the dreamy guitar playing on this song! They didn’t write the song themselves, in fairness. That honour goes to Lorenzo Barcelata, a Mexican composer who penned…
18/03/2021: “The Last Goodbye” by Agent Orange
Agent Orange were a slight oddity as they blended laid back surf rock with the explosive energy of hardcore punk. You can especially hear the…
17/03/2021: “Dedication Dub” by The Widdler
