Despite their brief trajectory, this fivesome managed to launch a high quality, extremely delicate album, which unfortunately went completely unnoticed at the time. Contrary to what had already been happening at a musical level in 70s’ Argentina, the quintet recorded an LP crammed with Folk Rock/Symphonic Rock features (including hints of Yes) that could be linked to Sui Generis (Instituciones…), Nito Mestre y Los Desconocidos de Siempre or certain passages of Vivencia. Exclusive American & European distribution.

For the very first time in music history, this gem of Argentine Jazz is being reissued, which is considered to be, without a doubt, the renowned saxophone player’s masterpiece. While in an expansively creative mood, he incorporated non-typical sounds to his music: compositional progressive developments, psychedelic and space trips, besides other additions and inventions that possess a very special sound. Generally speaking, this album is an Avant-Garde experience, introducing a very innovative side of Jazz.

“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.

This band, which was native to the city of Santa Fe, emerged in early 1972 after the dissolution of Alma Pura. By that year already, they had composed the music, as well as written the script and story of their work “Indio”, perhaps the first Rock Opera created in any Argentine province, other than Buenos Aires. Its style was based on “Tommy”, featured Indigenous issues in the lyrics, and had a Progressive Psychedelic sound marked by an organ similar to Procol Harum. Local “La Biblia” by Vox Dei, was a big influence too.

La historia de Crucis es tan rica como su música. Desde muy jóvenes, los integrantes de la banda iniciaron una trayectoria que, tras varios años de perfeccionamiento, alcanzó de repente un lugar de preponderancia. Con sólo dos discos a su haber, Crucis logró llenar teatros y estadios, algo poco habitual dentro de la escena del Rock Progresivo/Sinfónico argentino. El recorrido arrollador, aunque breve, del grupo contó con una legión de fieles seguidores. Para la redacción de este libro, los autores entrevistaron a los músicos que alguna vez formaron parte de Crucis, recogiendo citas de entrevistas a terceros, así como a amigos cercanos, responsables de distintas funciones dentro del management, la carrera y la temporalidad de la banda. También se buscaron datos de la prensa general y otros testimonios relevantes a la historia del cuarteto. Se realizó un arduo trabajo de campo para recopilar toda la información, artículos, publicaciones, entrevistas de época, material gráfico y otros elementos, todos extraídos de los medios disponibles. También hay un extenso análisis musical de toda la producción musical de los muchachos, numerosas fotografías, carteles y otras referencias importantes.

Here is a rotund about face in the band’s musical direction, as their 6th album finds the threesome with a keyboards, guitar and bass format. What they’re performing now is Melodic Symphonic Music, albeit still pretty complex, with a certain link to the Canterbury sound. Devoid of any sound layers, no drums and with isolated programmed percussion, this is very different from anything they have done before...

All these elements flow through structures and procedures commonly associated with written tradition music, resulting in an unstable mixture of erudition and street smartness.

Through the means of his particular Stick instrument, Diego Souto builds a solid compositional sound, developing complex harmonies, polyrhythmias, loops, and peaceful melodies, as he experiments within his own sonic universe. Inspired by Brian Eno's “Ambients” and Robert Fripp’s “Frippertronics”, his music is neither ethereal nor ambient, but rhythmic and melodic. Sounds don’t slowly fade away here, but remain until the audio chart, so to speak, is complete.

The third album, can be understood as an Avant-Garde Jazz album which is also connected with the spirit of Rock in Opposition. The ostinati converse with free forms, in sequences that can lead to attacks of noisy abstraction, which spring from both Rock and Free Jazz, then go back and build complex sonic architectures.

When everything was nothing, the beginning was nothing. The history of Argentine Rock wasn’t born from nothing. Though it exists thanks to Rock & Roll, Jazz and Blues, it would not be the same without Tango or local Folk Music. With a prelude by Miguel Grimberg, this initiatory book tells the history of music on this continent, beginning with the African slaves’ arrival in 1500, their syncretism with European and native cultures, all the way until the first formative years of Argentine Rock, offering the necessary information to motivate the reading of the "Rock de Acá" Book Collection.

This historic rescue of live-in-concert-recorded tapes, was part of a cassette that they used to sell at their shows. This edition includes three bonus tracks. The group split in 1981 by pressure of the military censorship of the day and their first disc never got to be released.
