Hello everyone, today I'll talk about a
musician that I like very much: Luis Alberto Spinetta.
He is an
Argentine musician who went to fame with a band called "Almendra" in
1967, and on his first album was a song called "Muchacha ojos de papel",
which is perhaps his most remembered hit, but I like other songs from that band, such as "Color humano", "Para ir" and "Los elefantes". This band is one of those that began with Latin American rock,
and after that, Spinetta formed with other musicians "Pescado
Rabioso", that had heavier guitars and rhythms, after that band made a
solo disc called "Artaud", the which is considered one of his best
records, and I agree with that. He later formed other bands like
"Invisible" which is mainly progressive rock and "Spinetta
Jade" which is closer to jazz rock. Of this last band I really like an album called "Alma de diamante", which was deeply inspired by a very interesting writer: Carlos Castaneda, the analogy is clear in songs like "Dale gracias" and "Con la sombra de tu aliado”. Spinetta also made many solo albums, among which
I like "Kamikaze" and "A 18 ' del sol" by the lyrics
that speak in a very poetic and wise way about life and love. I also like a lot the way he plays the guitar, as in the following song:
