On March 9, 1988, two amateur journalists managed to gather for a report on the members of Serú Girán. A secret local meeting in the neighborhood of Almagro that could be observed like the beginning of the quartet's return in 1992. Here is García, Moro, Lebón and Aznar talking about the beginning of the group in Búzios and the abrupt separation in March 82; the hermaphrodite voices, Grinbank and the masters of their captures; Billy Bond and Music Hall; the soloist albums, the days of Pedro at Berklee, the latest video clip and the hubies spent with Serú Girán in the midst of the growing national rock boom in Latin America.

Basados en la tradición del Candombe uruguayo, su sensitiva riqueza interior fue el móvil que reunió a cinco instrumentistas para explorar una tradición musical y devolverlas transformadas en un desprendimiento más del rock. La primitiva intensidad rítmica, aunada al Rock, Funk y al Jazz, originarios de la raza negra, fue el canal que eligió el quinteto Raíces para ofrecer un álbum debut sacudido de solemnidad, pleno de vitalidad y comunicación. Cabe destacar, que en este grupo, hace su debut discográfico un joven tecladista llamado Andrés Calamaro.

The sixth volume of this successful series is a work of Jazz and Progressive Fusion that uses indigenous and foreign rhythms, perhaps in a more synthetic and stripped-down fashion than ever. Recorded as an Electric Trio formation, and with several nods to the music and scene of the seventies, though at the very same time manifesting the sounds of traditional Argentine roots from the River Plate region and typically northwestern rhythmic variations, though this time a little less Baroque and somewhat quite a lot more Rock-oriented.

This is the very much anticipated sequel to his “Bronca Buenos Aires”, which was recorded in 1973, and banned by the dictatorship of then Argentine President, General A. A. Lanusse.

What we have here is a meticulous description of their discography and key concerts, in addition to the storytelling by its own protagonists and other sources. Also featured is a detailed and acute look by the Argentine Music Press, as well as from around the rest of the world.

The terrific keyboards player from Alas, recorded this effort as a solo artist. The album transports us into his intimate world of Contemporary Jazz compositions, with a clear imprint of Argentine Tango and Latin American sounds.

In mid-1976, the band El Nirvana begins to take shape in the musical conservatory of the Argentine coastal city of Mar del Plata, where several musicians gathered together to create an eightsome of Contemporary Music, consisting of young people who originated from different musical backgrounds. This helped them hit it off with a particular musical aesthetic, conceiving an amalgamation of Progressive Rock sonics with Pastoral and Urban shades, as well as Jazz Improvisation and Psychedelic tints.

This was the sole album recorded by this band, which came together in 1979, and was fronted by Gustavo Montesano (formerly with Crucis) and Alejandro De Michele (formerly with Pastoral.) The group attempted to innovate their already well-seasoned Symphonic Rock and Progressive Folk origins, with the aesthetics of the New Wave genre that had just landed in Argentina.

Its members: Javier Martínez, Claudio Gabis and Alejandro Medina possessed the enormous doses of audacity and talent, that were necessary for the creation of a new genre, which blossomed into Blues in Spanish.

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.

This book evidences the multiple facets of the generational change of Jazz happening in Argentina, which is immersed in the ever-changing political and social context that frames and promotes it: The original compositions, new authors, their interaction with Tango and Rock, indie labels, urban spaces, growing female presence, streaming, modern broadcasting, and listening habits. These are substantial parts of a body that is in permanent evolution and creativity, which for the very first time, flow together into a text that cross-examines and analyzes them with an integrating look.

Five decades after his first album with Sui Generis ("Vida" - 1972), Charly continues to show his uninterrupted value within the Argentine and Latin American Rock scenes. He has already written a huge amount of songs about his life, excesses, provocations, records, lyrics of his songs, and concerts. However, this book deals with one of the aspects about which, paradoxically, not much has been written at all: his music.

“Lo único comparable a escuchar la música de Spinetta es hablar sobre Spinetta”.
The idea that seems to run through each page of Luisito Volume 2 is that the only thing comparable to listening to Spinetta is talking about him. Like a Spinettean alchemist, Kasparian does what’s needed to recover scattered fragments -seemingly connected by an invisible thread- of Luis Alberto Spinetta’s life & works, via statements by a wide range of beings who sometime and somewhere, crossed paths with Luis: in person, by phone, Zoom, or Whatsapp. Who cares?! Only 1 thing matters: talking about Spinetta.

Official biography of the band Arco Iris, formed during the late '60s. It is the product of extensive research conducted by journalist Fabio Scartuchio, who together with the group, compiled in this comprehensively complete publication, the history, photos, testimonies of all members, their music and philosophy (which was extremely new for the time, as was vegetarianism), the practice of yoga, and community life. This pioneering Rock band’s protagonists tell us about their musical beginnings, anecdotes and intimacies of their shows and successes, such as “Mañana Campestre” (1971), which became an anthem for the youth of the seventies, and is considered to be hands down, one of Argentine Rock’s most popular classics.

This book is a substantial introduction for the rebuilding of a criminally neglected chapter within Argentine Rock history. This subgenre generally does not enjoy great relevance in local bibliographies. So, in some way, the authors have intended to shine some visibility on the Symphonic Progressive Rock movement, through 18 representative bands which had big or small impact, but all with great personalities, during the seventies and early eighties’ heyday. Beyond the bands’ individual biographies, the testimonies by some of the main protagonists in each group also stand out.
