Biography
This group was born in 1975 and fused folklore with rock, with very good results. After numerous performances in theaters and, mainly, in the interior of the country, they made their recording debut in 1978. In 1979 they had the opportunity to perform alongside Serú Girán and León Gieco, in a recital organized at Luna Park. That impulse took them back to the studio, to record "Señales sin Edad" which, although it did not sell as well as the first record, ended up consolidating the musical style. The group dissolved at the beginning of 1981, having reached a peak of creativity.
The group had been active since 1975. After three years and repeated public presentations, they managed to record their first album in 1978. Like Arco Iris or Aucán, they decidedly incorporated folkloric rhythms, even using typical instruments such as percussions, quena or charango. However, Horizonte differs from these bands by giving a strong presence to progressive rock, often symphonic in orientation, being fundamental in this characteristic the role of Sergio Vainikoff's keyboards handled with skill and great delicacy. The band's music is dynamic but never loud, always with a very pleasant melodic component. The lyrics have localist content as revealed through titles such as "Tierra del Indio", "Trigo Maduro" or "Vidala del Corazón".
A year later Horizonte surprises again with a work that is probably superior to that demonstrated on the debut album. Preserving the indigenous elements of their music that explores Latin American rhythms, they accentuate the progressive path of their music. The strong presence of Vainikoff's keyboards on the first album gains quality and achieves an excellent coupling with the winds and guitars. Alfano's bass also makes his presence known among the tight percussions of Ojeda and Bloise. The assembly between the folk rhythms and the modern components never feels forced and the music seems to flow naturally particularly in the very good instrumental passages. Horizonte definitely has its own sound clearly differentiated from groups like Los Jaivas or Arco Iris.
