LA MÁQUINA DE HACER PÁJAROS

On their eponymous debut album this Argentine five piece band (including two keyboard players) is led by the versatile Charly Garcia, a legend in the Argentine (prog) rock history. He plays piano, clavinet, organ, synthesizers, guitar, he sings and is the main composer. The music on this alternating and melodic album from 1976 sounds as a pleasant and entertaining blend of Sixties rock, jazzrock, classic and symphonic rock featuring lots of soli on guitar and synthesizer and strong interplay. The compositions are drenched in the progrock tradition but have a strong typical South-American atmosphere featuring latin and soul elements. Don't expect prog like Genesis, Camel or ELP, this is the unique progrock sound from Latin-America!
