Alacran - s/t 1971

You want Santna you've got it. Okay, that's not really fair just because they take the same latin beat and turn it into hard rock. Sorry to be so racist. 

But this does have a Santana kind of urge to it, Madrid's Alacran,was the brain child of drummer and guitarist, Fernando Arbex, who recruited Oscar Lasprilla on keyboards, and singer/bass player Ignacio Egana. Their one and only albumv featured ''Sticky" which was their single. Recorded in 1969 and receiving no promo on either side of the Atlantic, none the less, captured the interest of the youth culture from their homeland. The edginess of the guitars and minor key compositions, drew the inevitable anaccurate comprisons toSantana. But none the less, this is latin rock at he beginning, and a damn fine album at that.
