Satisfacción, Los Apson (1965)
Spanish cover of the Rolling Stones by Mexican band Los Apson of Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. The band was criticized for being malinchistas for performing rock and roll instead of ranchera music. Their biggest hit, Fuiste a Acapulco, was a comic ranchera song that topped the Mexican charts for six weeks in 1966.

[…] Nix recorded and played in both Memphis and Chicago, and worked with legendary bluesmen in both cities, among them Junior Parker, B.B. King, Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson II, and Bobby Blue Bland.”
