The Bel-Airs

The Bel-Airs were an early and influential surf rock band from Southern California, active in the early 1960s.

They were best known for their 1961 hit Mr. Moto, an instrumental surf rock song that featured a flamenco inspired intro and contained a melodic piano interlude.

On splitting up, the guitarist Eddie Bertrand formed Eddie & the Showmen.
