With this brand new output, Andres boasts a more Progressive-sounding style than on his predecessing two albums.

Project led by Juan "Pollo" Raffo (Trigemino, Redd, Monos con navajas), which fuses Contemporary Music with Jazz, together with typical and traditional Buenos Aires rhythms.

FORMA Y FONDOVer información de la banda
"Forma y fondo"

(1977) - Mucha Madera Producciones
CD

This is a late seventies recording made by the members of Alma y Vida, which at that stage presented a couple of changes in their original line-up. By then, they were decidedly tilted towards a more Jazz Rock inclination, with variations in their wide-ranged rhythm base (from Funk & Soul, to Latin touches). Most of the tracks on this CD are Instrumental, with a few Spanish-sung exceptions. The good news is that, in spite of the name change, it is still that same old magic and roots of the great, mythical Alma y Vida.

CD

Psychedelic ensemble which fuses Kraut Rock atmospheres (such as Can) together with classic Spaghetti Western melodies (a la Ennio Morricone). It is all done through a very current context in mind, similar to the Post Rock reverberations of Sigur Ros, complete with all the melancholic moods of the genre. All tracks are sung in Spanish.

Former bass guitarist with Sui Generis, Alejandro decided to re-release this collection of tracks written and cut during the mid-seventies. His style has a very personal Folk Rock flavour and is not too dissimilar to the sounds of his former bandmates, and to the produce of equally legendary fellow-Argentines, Vivencia.

At the dawning of the seventies was when this band started performing live in concert. The outfit featured some very rare particularities: twin lead guitars, permanent presence of a violin throughout all of their songs, almost handled as a lead instrument; and excellent vocal arrangements. They mixed Psychedelia, Prog Rock, and Classical Music very successfully, and were finally able to boast this unusual yet inspired concoction on this, their only album, which was recorded during the latter stages of 1972. The record didn't actually see the light of day until 1974. This CD has been remastered from the original master tapes.

CD - VIR

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.

A classic record, which finally enjoys its long delayed release, a launch that has been hungrily awaited by the legions of Argentine Rock collectionists the world over.

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.
