Description

• A naufragar… - La historia de Los Gatos - (2018)

 

On the night of Thursday, April 27, 1967, the Los Gatos group heads to the TNT studios of Santa Fe 1050 avenue in order to carry out a test for the RCA label. "La Balsa" is not only the first of the five songs recorded in that historic session -which will light only three months later- but it will also be the cornerstone of what we know today as Argentine Rock.

Half a century later, it is unusual that the bulky bibliography dedicated to Argentine popular music has not yet contemplated the definitive narrative about the history of the group that reset the history of the genre in the country. Until now.

Here is -in an exemplary investigation, supported by an overwhelming amount of revealing documents, most of them never before published, and exclusive interviews- the amazing journey of a handful of young people (Litto Nebbia, Ciro Fogliatta, Kay Galifi, Oscar Moro, Alfredo Toth and Norberto Napolitano) that impacted on the popular culture of a whole country.

Those who do not know the history of Los Gatos will have at their disposal the most complete work.

And those who think they know her, will not stop being surprised.
