The Speakers

One of the first Rock bands in South America, The Speakers were formed in Bogotá - Colombia, in 1963. After releasing several locally successful albums they penned En El Maravilloso Mundo De Ingesón in 1968, which is widely regarded as the groundbreaking masterpiece of Latin American psychedelic rock music. Just as the Brazilian Os Mutantes and their local colleagues The Flippers did after them, The Speakers initially borrowed the look and musical styles of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Animals and The Byrds.
