Nayo- Plegaria de un Niño (Peru)


Nayo- Plegaria de un Niño (Peru)

From my own collection
This album is actually a US pressing of a Peruvian album by the IEMPSA label from Peru. At the time of this release (c. 1969) Nayo (Genaro Miguel Ganoza) was 12 years old, and his biggest hit was "Plegaria de un Niño". Styles on the album include "Surf A Go Go", "Carnavalito", "Rock A Go Go", & "Bolero Cancion". The album wasn't what I expected and it's quite interesting. The backing band is the band of Peruvian band leader Eulogio Molina.  If you want to read more about Nayo, there is an article about him on this Peruvian music blog-        http://larocoladepapa.blogspot.com/2011/02/nayo.html (In spanish).

Released in 1970, this album features two of the most prominent Israeli rock musicians of the period- Arik Einstein (known as the greatest singer in Israeli history) & Shalom Chanoch (known as the King of Israeli Rock). The album Shablool pioneered the new Israeli rock sound influenced by psychedelia & Anglo- American rock n roll. The backing band on the album is The Churchills, one of the pioneering Israeli psychedelic rock bands of the 1960's.
