Outstanding guitarist Marcelo Gutfraind during his stay in Boston (USA), formed his quartet of Contemporary Jazz with Dave Barraza (tenor sax), Fabian Bausch (double bass) and Jaime Moore (drums).

It is by being part of the Contemporary Jazz scene that guitarist Marcelo Gutfraind offers us his very first recorded output under his name, and he is accompanied by Rodrigo Dominguez on saxophones, Jerónimo Carmona on double bass and Oscar Giunta on drums. This is a solid and devastatingly convincing style, in addition to the attainment of incredible harmonic heights, where his guitar and the sax enjoy a constant dialogue.

This legendary Argentine Progressive Rock band was born in the City of Rosario (province of Santa Fé), and shared the stage with the likes of other mythical outfits such as MIA and Redd, who played a similar style of Prog Rock. 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. Irreal featured among their ranks, such Argentine Rock stalwarts as Juan Carlos Baglietto and Adrián Abonizio.

The passage of Trigémino through the Progressive Argentine Rock scene has left indelible footprints among those fortunate enough who managed to see them play live-in-concert, between 1976 and 1981. They performed typically-South American-flavoured Symphonic Rock, in the traditional vein of Espíritu or Redd, and inevitably, as so many bands from back then, had certain obvious influences by Yes. Unfortunately, they did not leave any recordings of their compositions behind. In 2005, the original line-up decided to go into the studio, in order to recreate the songs from their most memorable phase, albeit with the original tonal sound and instrumentation pertaining to all those years ago.

This second tome of the Social History of British Progressive Rock seeks to answer certain questions. Beginning with the transformation of the Folk Revival into Rock, it continues with the mechanisms that made a certain British-sounding Pop of the mid-sixties, The Beatles included, a force of immeasurable proportions. Along the way, the author rediscovers the forgotten traditions of Music Hall, Street Balladry, Pantomime, and Varieté, as well as the stubborn English urge to cling to whatever would be out of fashion. The book also convokes to a discussion between Modernity and Nostalgia, the terms of which, far from being opposite to one another, conspire to cook up the plot that will eventually weave into the style of posterior Progressive Rock.

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.

Miguel, will we meet again? it's hard to know... If you had something to say you said it twice, and Miguel had a good fist, and he knew who to floor, who to gift, who to forget and live, and you taught us all a little sense of the Palermo Dancer's friendship, Miguel.

Rodolfo Mederos, along with Generación Cero, released two LP's in the mid-70's. They began with an unusual formation of three bandoneons (a large accordion), bass and drums, to which the wind instruments of Arturo Schenider were added. Recorded in 1973, this album wasn't released till a whole three years later. This is a brilliant artistic effort that combined Avant-Tango with elements of Jazz and Psychedelic Beat, and was described at the time as Music with its' own Buenos Aires-flavoured identity.

As a result of their deep political convictions and commitment, when the military dictatorship erupted in Argentina (March, 1976), the group decided to exile themselves in France, where they released two records: El Sacrificio (1978) and Fuerza (1982.) This newly-released double album features both works, through which they continued expanding the Latin American Folk horizons they were renowned for, by fusing elements of Progressive Rock, Jazz and Tango.

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.

Passionate and many times controversial, Litto Nebbia tells everything. It is now fifty years since "La balsa", and the Argentine Rock pioneer, it must be said, was the very first to have no prejudice whatsoever with any musical genre, by merging Rock with Jazz, Brazilian Popular Music, Folklore, Bolero, and encouraging uncharted, never-before-explored musical territories. As unclassifiable as its author, "Mi banda sonora" threads, just like a soundtrack should, varying scenes from his own life history, scenes from his abundant songs and albums, his friends, his favourite movies and composers, his endless tours, and his own personal opinions. And together with all of these, thousands of memoirs, dreams and passions turn this book into a labour of love that is well-projected and directed into the future.

This is a book inhabited by the very vivid and very real characters, who tell their own story. They are the real personages and places - La Cueva. La Perla. Villa Gesell - where what we know today as Rock de Acá (Rock from Here), was originally conceived. These protagonists, who were of course very young back in those formative years, remember with absolute detail all those mythological adventures. And together they build the story of Mauricio Birabent (Moris), the poet or prophet of that incredibly vibrant moment. Moris taught us to sing Rock in Spanish. To have a Rocker attitude and the necessary independence that any Rocker needs, to keep well away from all the powers-that-be, the police, the entertainment industry (which was corporately embodied back then in what was known as "Escala Musical"), and, alas, to keep a respectable distance from formal and polite education. In a nutshell, he taught us all how to think for ourselves.

They were first known as Los Wilds Cats back in 1963, in the image and likeness of local Argentine outfit Los Teen Tops. In 1965, with Litto Nebbia as their lead singer, they were re-baptized as Los Gatos Salvajes. With a more Beatlesque type-of-sound, they were hired by the television programme "Escala Musical" and recorded a long play featuring a collection of tracks penned by Nebbia himself. Finally, in 1967, Ciro Fogliatta and Litto, together with Alfredo Toht, Oscar Moro, and Kay Galiffi, reassembled the band and called themselves Los Gatos. This formation recorded the mythical "La Balsa" (by Litto Nebbia and Tanguito) and "Ayer nomás" (by Moris and Pipo Lernoud), a 45 RPM disc that became the founding iconic pillar of the Rock movement in Argentina. After recording 3 albums right up until their first separation, and with the addition of Pappo in 1969, they became the most perfect transition between sixties' Beat and early seventies' Rock.
