THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 1960s THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD
1,805) Los Comandos/The Commands — “Eleva tu Mente”/”Elevate Your Mind”
This A-side is a cool ’70 psych instrumental by the Peruvian garage rock band. The band’s LP “is filled with totally instrumental Cumbia Peruana* influenced psychedelic rock music.” (CooperBolan, https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/los-comandos/moby-dick/) The album is Moby Dick, and yes, it includes a cover of Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick”. While I wouldn’t call los Comandos’ version good, at least they credit “Bohin-John-Page” as the writers! You can’t always say the same about Zeppelin!

* Wikipedia explains that “Peruvian cumbia is a popular musical subgenre from Peru. It originated from the fusion of Columbian rhythms such as cumbia, Cuban rhythms such as guaracha, American rhythms such as psychedelic rock, and native Peruvian rhythms such as huayno and Amazonian pandilla, as well as the smaller presence of Creole and Afro-Peruvian music.” (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbia_peruana (courtesy of Google Translate))
