El Kinto were a late 60s band from Uruguay related to both Limo Nada & Eduardo Mateo. They began, like most local bands did, with a mix of candombe and bossa nova. But immediately upon discovering UK & US pop, they went into a beat 'n' baroque psychedelic freefall that's most reminiscent of the Zombies or early Bee Gees. The entire Uruguay scene spent about ten years taking the airy, breezy underpinnings of bossa nova & exploring a musical compatriot in the equally breezy harmony singing of guys like yer old pal Paul McCartney. At times, this convergence brings on on the intimacy & mesmerizing quality of Skip Spence's 'Oar'. No hype talking, it can be that good. So don't miss. Tracklisting: Don Pascual, Muy Lejos Te Vas, Voy Pensando, Esa Tristeza, Siempre Vas, Estoy Sin Ti, Yo Volvere Por Ti, Jose, mejor Me Voy, Ni Me Puedes Ver, Suena Blanca Espuma, Damelo, Principe Azul, Pippo.
