During the mid-sixties, the appropriation of Anglo-Saxon music consumption, combined with the sense of belonging to local roots, as well as the sociopolitical and cultural context of the country and the world as a whole, defined the patterns of a new musical expression genre. What has been contributed here in this book is a look to enrich what we call the History Of Argentine Rock, so as to discover previously inadvertent details, in order to rebuild environments and characters which are about to be swallowed up forever by the thunderous silence of memory loss. The musicians in question are: Rodolfo García, Emilio Del Guercio, Claudio Gabis, Willy Quiroga, Kubero Diaz, Black Amaya, Ciro Fogliatta, Héctor Starc, and Jorge Durietz, who provide a sincere, deep and experiential testimony about the emergence of Rock culture in Argentina.

Luis Alberto Spinetta was much more than a Rock musician. It is very difficult to find negative commentaries or criticisms in reference to him as a person or his work, and he always obtained an enormous respect from the public, the press and his artistic peers, as if he were a special, almost sacred being. For many, he set some very high standards, in terms of the impeccably and professionally ethical ways in which he conducted himself as regards to all aspects of his personal life. This book on one hand maintains that Spinetta has been transformed into a mythical character by his very own audience. On the other hand, that part of the secret of his unique poetry and what it generates to us all lies in the construction -whether intentional or not- of a particular mythology that addresses existential questions and attempts to appease the real anguish generated by the separation between man and the cosmos.

Right after Almendra split in 1970, Luis Alberto Spinetta recorded songs for what would be: "Spinettalandia y sus amigos" and then ravels to Europe. On his return, he founded Pescado Rabioso and under that name, three albums were released: "Desatormentándonos", "Pescado 2" and "Artaud". In 1974, he formed Invisible and recorded three albums: "Invisible", "Durazno Sangrando" and "El jardín de los presentes." After recording "A 18' del sol" as a soloist and "Only Love Can Sustain" (in English in the US - also going solo), he successfully brought Almendra back together again in 1979, and in 1980, he formed Spinetta Jade. Credulity encompassed the prolific seventies' phase of this musician, poet, and artist, who with his talent and genius, gave credibility to Rock from here.

In the early nineties, somewhere in the burning Californian desert, a band called Kyuss led a move that originated a new musical genre that combined Heavy Rock and Psychedelia, with high levels of distortion, and which they baptized as "Stoner Rock." Meanwhile, at almost the very same time, in Buenos Aires, a group of musicians formed the band "Los Natas", who took that raw sound as a direct influence. They were the beacon of their generation: They encouraged many others to join this self-generated adventure, becoming one of the most famous groups in Argentina. This book tells how that seed, literally planted in the middle of the desert, flourished and bore fruit in our own territory.

Parallel project to Nexus, as two of its members are part of this trio. Subliminal comprises Lalo Huber on keyboards, Luis Nakamura on drums, and Lito Marcello, who handles all things vocal. In spite of sounding a little like Nexus at times, they definitely possess a much stronger presence in the singing department, sung in Spanish and a fictitious language.

Excellent debut album by this Peruvian Instrumental sextet, whose style bears strong reminiscenses to that of mytholgical Chilean band Los Jaivas. This work is crammed with flutes and all sorts of other wind instruments akin to the South American Andean region, and features a terrific Symphonic Rock backbone base, in order to lush things up.

Supay's second effort continues from where the band left off on their first album: merging Peruvian-tinged Andean Folk with Symphonic Rock. However, this time around, these incredibly gifted chaps incorporate certain Hard Rock overtones in their guitars, thus bringing a whole new dimension to their already highly original sound.

During the mid-70s, there existed a Progressive Rock / Symphonic Instrumental group that sadly did not transcend as it should have. Many years later, and from the ends of the earth, Rodolfo Planes re-enacted the music of his youth, which possessed a similar sound to Focus, Steve Hackett, and Camel.

Also originating from the Argentine province of Tucumán comes this brilliant quartet which merges Atmospheric Progressive Rock with Progressive Metal, as well as featuring occasional Fusion passages, by building well embodied structures, intense climaxes and atmospheres. All the compositions are sung in English, and their closest musical style comparative references could be Porcupine Tree and Tool.

Second album by this Instrumental quartet in which they consolidate their style: an original combination of the raw and dark early seventies King Crimson sound together with an Ian Anderson inspired creative flute. Featuring a solid rhythm base with a certain inclination towards Jazz and a scent of Tango floating in the air, the end product is the result of a blend of sheer authenticity and personal genius.

After enduring several line-up changes and searching for a new style, Tanger finally reaches its third studio album. The end-product is an even more raw sound and featuring an urban-dominated feel (which identifies the outfit with the music of the city of Buenos Aires), blended together with a Jazzy flavour. However, the group doesn't ever stray at all from the Progressive Rock path that they are mostly associated with.
