The Avándaro Festival - Why Don't We Know More About It? (Episode 43)

Are you as sick of Fyre documentaries as we are? We thought so.
This week's episode is all about a festival that took place over
two September days in 1971.  The festival was controversial
and featured historic performances from Mexican psychedelic bands
at the height of La Onda. It was also condemned by conservative
government leaders, with the president of
Mexico declaring, "While we regret and condemn the
phenomenon of Avándaro, it also encourages us in our belief that
only a small part of our youth are in favor of such acts and
entertainment." Find out how the festival came about, why it upset
so many people, and hear about some of the best psychedelic bands
you may know nothing at all about. Yet. Join us, won't you?
