Adrian Quesada’s Boleros Psicodélicos (2022) and its sequel Boleros Psicodélicos II (2025) are masterful tributes to the "balada" movement—a 1960s and 70s era where traditional Latin American ballads were electrified with psychedelic production. Quesada, best known as the co-founder of Black Pumas, crafts a sound that feels like a "smoky 60s lounge". The albums blend: romantic, sentimental lyrics and dramatic vocal deliveries. Psychedelic reverb-heavy guitars, "space-age" organs, and "ghostly" atmospheres, influenced by 1960s American soul, featuring "chunky" rhythm guitars and "downtempo" drum breaks.
