Translated by Gavin:
If you look at the map of Mexico, you will see that Mexico City
lacks an ocean, and for this reason, people who like surf music
must find refuge in "the Lucha Libre." (editors note: Lucha Libre
is the same as WWF wrestling in the U.S., but the combatants
typically wear masks. To be de-masked is a great disgrace. It's
been around a lot longer than surf music).
In recent years, the surf music movement has tied itself to "the lucha
lib=
re" and films about "la luch libre" such as "Santo enmascarado de plata"
(Th=
e Silver-Masked Saint), Mil Mascaras
(1000 Masks) etc. For this reason, there are bands like Senior
Bikini, which play while masked, mimicking our heroes of
muscle and bone. They are the real thing, not characters like
Spiderman and Superman, who fight and fly so wonderfully.
I admire Los Staitjackets as musicians, but I don't like that they
wear masks and even less that the masks are made from the
dynasty of Ramirez. (Editor: I have no idea what this means)
Even more, the masks used by Danny Amis and company, is a
copy of that of Atlantis (the idol of the children) Gold.
I've posted photos of the Mexican Lucha Libre.
