Los Yaki broke out in Mexico with a cover of the Beatles’ “Help” and rode the “Ola Inglesa” wave that translated British Invasion and American rock for Mexican audiences. Frontman Benny Ibarra grew out his hair long enough to cause a genuine scandal in mid-’60s Mexico — rock star behavior nobody there had seen yet. Los Grandes Años Del Rock (1968) leans straight into that identity, including a version of Elvis’ “Jailhouse Rock,” all filtered through the band’s aggressive, garage-leaning energy.
