The Magic Land guide says:
Although in 1967 the Uruguayan rock had already been born, the exodus of essential bands like Los Shakers, Los Iracundos and Los Mockers to Argentina -in order to achieve greater exposure- left Uruguay without its rock foundation. Within this context, the importance of El Kinto is absolutely decisive and seminal for what would later come.
Formed around the nucleus that Eduardo Mateo, Rubén Rada and Walter Cambón formed, El Kinto represents the most interesting way of combining the influence of The Beatles with the local rhythms and composition forms.
Based on compositions by a pre-Tótem Ruben Rada and Eduardo Mateo, the quality of the repertoire is outstanding. The basic distinction from another Beatles-influenced bands consists in that instead of imitating, or trying to reproduce the same songs, El Kinto melted that influence with candombe arrangements, achieving a completely unique sound that influenced many Uruguayan bands from then on.
Several problems and disorganisation made impossible the publication of any records while the band was active. The songs of their only album -released late in 1977- were possibly demos recorded between 1967 and 1969 with very little production. However, they are actually the very first rock songs recorded in Uruguay in Spanish language.
El Kinto is not advisable for those who seek an international sound; there are much better options indeed. On the other hand, is a must for those looking for a real cultural event: the candid mixture of American/British rock with local influences.
