Quaker is a new and young band originating from the City of La Plata (capital of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). The lads decided to form a group under the influence of their own personal musical tastes. Following the footsteps of bands such as Tryo & 3/4 de trio, their attempt is to evolve, through their own vision, the Progressive style inaugurated by King Crimson. This mission is further enhanced by combining such genre with elements of Fusion, thus attaining a sophisticated, instrumental progressive recipe, with nice touches of improvisation, which derive into a very personal sounding recipe.

An amazing apparition on the Argentine Prog Rock scene!!! This foursome hails originally from the Northern City of Tucuman. The quartet presents a labour crammed with dark and melancholically themed tracks, very much in the Radiohead (OK Computer), Porcupine Tree and Anekdoten vein. Featuring soaring songwriting qualities, excellent sound and English-sung lyrics, these lads will soon be the talk of the Progressive towns. Highly recommendable!!

This mythical band came together in the city of Rosario during the early seventies and is widely considered as being one of the most important acts in the Argentine Symphonic Rock circuit.

In this their second CD, the band manages to confirm the solid maturity already exposed on their opera prima. The new repertoire leans even more heavily towards Rock territory, albeit without losing the exquisite vocal arrangements and familiar Symphonic strokes of their first album.

After duet Pedro & Pablo's first split, Miguel Cantilo (Pedro) settled in a southern Argentine little village at the foot of the Andes range known as El Bolson, in order to live within a Hippie community. At the end of 1972, he wrote several Psych/Folk songs together with Kubero Diaz(from La Cofradia De La Flor Solar fame) which were inevitably inspired by their gorgeous, rural surroundings. One year later, the tunes were recorded together with a list of key celebrity guests.

Unreleased album by one of the most prestigious composers and arrangers of Argentine music as a whole. Rodolfo produces a very personal brand of Fusion, via the combination of Jazz, Rock and elements culled from our territory's Popular music, through pleasant and memorable melodies, complex arrangements and constant (yet many times totally unexpected) rhythm changes, which altogether provide an amazing concoction similar to the Canterbury sound from the '70's (Hatfield & The North) or certain passages which easily remind us of Frank Zappa.
