Traffic Sound
Traffic Sound was a Peruvian rock band founded in 1967 by Manuel Sanguinetti Orlandi (vocals, b. 1950-), Freddy Rizo-Patrón Buckley (rhythm guitar, b.1952-), Jean Pierre Magnet Vargas Prada (sax, b. 1949-); Guillermo "Willito" Barclay Ricketts (lead guitar b.1948-) himself the nephew on his mother's side of Peru's first Cardinal Juan Landazuri Ricketts ( born in Arequipa in 1913 as Guillermo Eduardo Landázuri Ricketts, d. Lima, 1997); Willy Thorne Valega (bass, b. 1950-d. 2019), grandson of noted banker and industrialist Rollin Andrés Avelino Thorne Sologuren, and Luis "Lucho" Nevares (drums, b-1950-). Manuel and Freddy had met in school and played in Los Hang Ten's, with the latter and his older brother Jose originally coming up with the idea of founding "Traffic Sound". Simultaneously, Magnet joined "Los Drags" as Barclay and Thorne played in "Los Mad's" with Nevares and, a while later, Thorne again playing in the short-lived (1965-66) Peruvian band "Ides of March" (not to be confused with the US band founded in 1966 The Ides of March). As noted earlier, they all met in the summer of 1967 and created Traffic Sound
The name was chosen because of their penchant for a traffic light, placed as a souvenir in the attic of the Rizo-Patróns house where they held their practices after a wild night in Lima.
