Album Review:
I'm noticing a theme with these South American surf-related releases. While many cash-in with self-proclaiming surfing titles, few emulate the surfing sound well. Such is the case with Los Surfin's (sic) 1964 Surf album.
​
Despite the prominent "Surf" on the cover, the only thing on this album that could be tied to the sport is 'La Fiesta Del Surf' - a song so excruciating it drives me to highly recommend you avoid this whole release. Other tunes are played in pseudo-surf style - 'La Niña Del Yoyo' being the best out of them.
​
Nice try guys....I'd recommend trying out Los Mabbers' superior Surfin Con Los Mabbers.
