It happened during the mid-sixties in the City of Buenos Aires' district of Barrio Norte, inside a basement locale known as "La Cueva de Pasarotus" (later to be known simply as "La Cueva", where several young people who had been born in the 1940's started to meet and converge, as they were commonly attracted by Jazz. They soon attempted to gradually change the musical trends of the joint towards Beat and Rock. Within this group of pioneers were Moris, Pajarito Zaguri, Sandro, Billy Bond, Pipo Lernoud, Tanguito, Litto Nebbia, and Javier Martínez, who gave birth to the idea of composing Rock and Blues songs sung in Spanish, to reflect the reality of what they were living through in their everyday lives, in a country ruled by a military regime. After participating in a musical experience with Moris in Villa Gesell and being part of La Banda de Gastón, in 1967, drummer and singer Javier Martinez met Claudio Gabis, the guitarist of Bubblin Awe, and Alejandro Medina, bass player with Los Seasons, with whom he formed Manal, the founding Rock band in Argentina.

Almendra left its heavy footprint legacy, so that Rock music in Argentina could have its Experimental and Avant-Garde quota through the poetry of Luis Alberto Spinetta and the audacity of that legendary and mythical band, in order to lay the foundations for a new musical aesthetic and fusion that could only be carried forward by true pioneers and references who were in it for the long run. Short-lived, though intense (1968-1970), in 1979 Almendra came back and gifted us with a double live album, as well as a studio LP effort, culminating their story in the year 2009 with five songs played live-in-concert during the "Spinetta y sus bandas eternas" mega-show event, which remained as an everlasting worthy memory of those who boarded that train to the south.

Although "La Pesada del Rock and Roll" existed only between 1970-1974, its open band policy made it essential to help add to the growth of Rock in Argentina, not only because of the participation of Pappo, Luis Alberto Spinetta and the members of Manal (even though they had already split by then), but for what he represented ideologically with his "in-your-face" attitude of confronting authoritarianism during unstable political moments of the country, with repression and censorship carried out by de facto military governments, as well as the "democratically"-elected government of Juan Domingo Perón, which, when he died while still in office, continued in the same autocratic and brutal vein by his evil minister Jose López Rega, creator of the repressive Triple A paramilitary secret police cell. This research includes interviews with numerous musicians who were actually there.

When everything was nothing, nothing was the beginning, but the history of "Rock de acá" is not born out of nothing; it exists thanks to Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll, and it would not be the same without local Tango and Folk. This story begins long before "La Balsa", as part of a new generation of inspired young people born in the 1940's, who were connected with the international cultural and political movements of those times, and who helped to mold and change the way of Argentine people's thinking in general. Between 1992 and 2015, Ezequiel Abalos interviewed the pioneers of "Rock de acá", in order to unravel the true origins of Rock in Argentina. With Miguel Grinberg's prelude, this expanded reprint includes a CD with all of the book's interviews conducted with forty musicians and producers who were there.

For many readers, Pipo Lernoud is the real ideologist behind Argentine Rock. He founded emblematic magazines depicting this movement, such as Expreso Imaginario, Canta Rock and La Mano. He was one of the pioneering forces behind Organic Agriculture and wandered dozens of stages, scenes and settings in order to recite his own poetic works. It is through his trove of diaries, letters, poems, songs, articles, and postings that "Yo no estoy aquí" reveals the embryonic origins and growing pains of the Alternative Culture: its' social and political coming of age from the sixties up to the present.

To describe the musical deformation that this band has produced in this their second album, is a highly complicated challenge. The group's music is complex, as it is sonically-speaking of an Electronic / Alternative Pop orientation, albeit also comprising crisscrossing rhythms and poly-rhythms, constant changes and arrangements linked to an academic level of Progressive Jazz and Rock component. We could associate these lads' sound to that of Muse. It is ultimately up to the listener to decide under which genre she or he would prefer to pigeonhole and typecast this extraordinary artistic work.

After forming part of numerous musical projects, this young pianist and songwriter has finally created his own Contemporary Jazz Trio, which only plays original compositions. These are addressed from the classic sound perspective of a piano threesome with orchestral proposals and characteristic rhythmic interaction. This is a similar sonic formula to that of the Leonel Duck Trio.

This is a conceptual record based on numbers and their meaning in terms of random chance, observed from the point of view of inhabitants of the city of Buenos Aires. Endowed with high-caliber composition standards, this album traverses effortlessly through Avant-Tango, Contemporary Music and Urban Music in the way an imaginary film of intrigue, mystery and melancholy would do, as it wanders, roams and cruises through the downtown streets of the city of Buenos Aires.

This Argentinian band appeared on the scene in 1994 with their “Sun Fell” album on the legendary Hyperium label (Germany), with a sound compared to Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, etc, submerged in the realm of Heavenly Voices and Neoclassical influences. Twenty years later, they return with the all new album, a beautiful journey through lovely melodies.

This album was released as a limited edition in 1998 and it was shortly sold-out. This opus is inspired by the well-known character of Virginia Woolf’s novel. The dualism of the character is well exemplified when strong Neoclassical influences coexist with with arias built on complex guitar arpeggios with a very impressive emotional impact.

This sextet is conformed by Latin American musicians established in Buenos Aires, under the leadership of Colombian bass player Carlos Quebrada. This, their second-released recording, is a mysterious Suite which is divided into eight parts where Contemporary Music, Fusion, Avant-Prog, and Canterbury become R.I.O. The six-some's nondescript music oscillates somewhere between written sections and improvisational segments, thus deepening the instrumentation search where electric sounds and acoustic sonority may co-exist.

The former leader of the band Síntesis released his first solo album back in the year 1990 (via the Melopea label) and has now decided to re-launch it on CD through the Blue Art label. Under Fusion Jazz aesthetics and infused with Progressive brush-strokes, the music played by the quartet performing on this album features a predominance of wind instruments which carry forth the melodies and improvisations.

Named the first Spanish endorser of the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer, Mauri has positioned himself as one of Spain's most internationally-transcendent musicians in the Groove scene, whether within Blues, Funk, Jazz, or Soul.

During the winter of 1976, a few months after a new military coup d'etat, the city of Buenos Aires dawned one day to see its streets papered in ads heralding the arrival of a new magazine called "Expreso Imaginario." Founded by the renowned local journalists Jorge Pistocchi and Pipo Lernoud, "Expreso Imaginario" not only became a sort of haven if you will, but also laid the foundation for he nascent specialized journalism. The publishing of "Estación Imposible" is an excellent piece of bibliographic news for those who are interested in learning about the past of Argentine Rock, as well as the restless readers curious about the history of journalism in this blessed country.

With the clear intention of playing a Progressive Rock style in a similar vein to that of Jethro Tull, the Argentine band attempted to fuse their own personal influences together with South American Folk rhythms. This very unique outcome of a combination drove the lads to release their very first long player in 1973. This re-release also includes the single which was launched a year later.

In this brand new mutation, the group is now reduced to a Power Trio formed by Darío Iscaro on guitars, Augusto Urbini on drums (formerly with Panza and Resistencia Chaco) and Felipe González on bass guitar. With a more powerful sound than their previous efforts, they effortlessly transit through Avant Prog, albeit with Fusion and Math Rock overtones, nuances, shades, variations, and subtleties.

Kamikaze is very well perhaps the most representative of all of Luis Alberto's solo albums; a work of acoustic predominance consisting of compositions written during different periods of his career. These recordings were made under intimately themed influences, albeit within a considerable expressive plenitude, and featuring lyrics which refer to the human conduct's existential valorization.

This is Luis Alberto's third solo studio production, recorded in the United States in the company of top American session players and which is considered to be a very much unique record because of the English-only lyrics. The album features his own compositions, as well as other songwriters' works, all of which enjoy the characteristic of a great all-round production within a Gino Vannelli-sounding Jazz Rock / Rock / Pop-Jazz stylistic scenario.

Miguel Cantilo occupies a privileged place among all the pioneers of Rock sung in Spanish. His emblematic compositions turned Miguel into one of the most important Argentine Rock songwriters. As it introduces the readers to previously unpublished texts showing the genesis of Cantilo's works, his big Pedro y Pablo success, the protagonist of Catalina Bahía, as well as exclusive autobiographical notes, this book is much more than a rigorous study of his lucid and exquisite oeuvre.

This here is a really fantastic piece of art: it is a Tribute album which pays homage to the pioneers of Argentine Rock from the sixties and seventies. It is an amazing journey to the very origins of Argentina's Rock movement, which includes fourteen foundational amthems played by the Kiev Symphonic Orchestra, together with thirty-one singers and guest musicians. The idea and orchestrations were conceived by Gustavo Gregorio and the orchestra was conducted by Claudio Ianni. This gem of a production features the singing talents of the following legendary and mythological Argentine Rock stalwarts: Litto Nebbia, Ricardo Soulé, Gustavo Santaolalla, Willy Quiroga, Miguel Cantilo, Emilio del Guercio, Kubero Díaz, among others.
