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.

After many years of attempting to solidify his project, the talented flutist and composer Ricardo Luna was at long last able to form and consolidate his own band and record this heavily Classically-influenced Symphonic Rock debut album. The predominance of Ricardo's attractive flute during the whole recording, sets the pace and direction for all his songs. There is a certain stylistic proximity to Kollar Attila (from Solaris), and reminiscenses of Focus and Camel. This launch also includes two bonus tracks, which happen to be cover versions in the shape of a fitting musical tribute to the latter British Prog Rock group.

This here is the second of the albums in question, and is widely considered to be one of the best and most successful combinations of Avant Tango and Progressive Rock in history. These recordings feature nice touches of Jazz, as well as clever incursions into Psychedelic territory. This is a purely Instrumental collection, which boasts Rodolfo's virtuous bandoneon playing and the outfit's beautiful and melanchollically atmospheric passages. Outstanding and legendary stuff!

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.

Luis Alberto Spinetta was much more than a Rock musician. It is very difficult to find negative commentaries or criticisms in reference to him as a person or his work, and he always obtained an enormous respect from the public, the press and his artistic peers, as if he were a special, almost sacred being. For many, he set some very high standards, in terms of the impeccably and professionally ethical ways in which he conducted himself as regards to all aspects of his personal life. This book on one hand maintains that Spinetta has been transformed into a mythical character by his very own audience. On the other hand, that part of the secret of his unique poetry and what it generates to us all lies in the construction -whether intentional or not- of a particular mythology that addresses existential questions and attempts to appease the real anguish generated by the separation between man and the cosmos.

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. Credulity encompassed the prolific seventies' phase of this musician, poet, and artist, who with his talent and genius, gave credibility to Rock from here.

Here is the debut album by this famous band led by Luis Alberto Spinetta, through which he commenced on a musical journey more in tune with Jazz Rock and certain aftertastes of Progressive Rock. This record was originally inspired by the works of renowned anthropologist Carlos Castaneda, which are related to shamanism.

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.

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.

Squizojam was born as a Free Improvisational twosome formed by Omar Grandoso and Agustín Martire. This new record of theirs incorporates contributions from other musicians and by doing so, they spontaneously become a nine-piece which effortlessly wanders terrifically between Free Jazz and Contemporary Music.

Starosta emerged from the province of San Luis back in 2009 and step-by-step forged their sound within the Progressive / Symphonic Rock genre, into which they added elements of Funk, Jazz and Blues, with Psychedelic overtones. Their Spanish-sung songs, possess a part of the legacy left behind by Luis Alberto Spinetta, as well as local tonalities.

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.

Parallel project to Nexus, as two of its members are part of this trio. Subliminal comprises Lalo Huber on keyboards, Luis Nakamura on drums, and Lito Marcello, who handles all things vocal. In spite of sounding a little like Nexus at times, they definitely possess a much stronger presence in the singing department, sung in Spanish and a fictitious language.

Excellent debut album by this Peruvian Instrumental sextet, whose style bears strong reminiscenses to that of mytholgical Chilean band Los Jaivas. This work is crammed with flutes and all sorts of other wind instruments akin to the South American Andean region, and features a terrific Symphonic Rock backbone base, in order to lush things up.

Supay's second effort continues from where the band left off on their first album: merging Peruvian-tinged Andean Folk with Symphonic Rock. However, this time around, these incredibly gifted chaps incorporate certain Hard Rock overtones in their guitars, thus bringing a whole new dimension to their already highly original sound.

During the mid-70s, there existed a Progressive Rock / Symphonic Instrumental group that sadly did not transcend as it should have. Many years later, and from the ends of the earth, Rodolfo Planes re-enacted the music of his youth, which possessed a similar sound to Focus, Steve Hackett, and Camel.
