Some highly recommended free downloads is the first three L Herba d Hamelí albums from their website (excellent Spanish folk/symphonic prog albums) and the Albatros album.

AELIAN - Influences of Marillion, Post Gabriel Genesis and 80s YES. Neo prog in the eighties.
AHURA - Practices an "intelligent prog". Great atmospheres with Sitar, percussion... AISLES - Great band from Chile with a great album. Melancholic atmospheres inside neo prog, with Marillion influences.

I'd strongly reccomend Kotebel and if you fancy something a bit heavier check out Taifa. Triana of course are well worth checking out as others have mentioned.

""Born on March the 8th, in 1967 in Necochea city, Buenos Aires, Argentina...Sergio Alvarez began his romance with music since he was 5 years old, playing piano together with his older brothers, cause he comes from a music family. His father was bandeonist and director of his own Tango orchestra in the 50s decade. Sergio began his pro career when he was only 18 years old with "In Extremis" band. This got last for 10 years and he knew a huge sucess playing a fussion with a mixture of symphonic-rock-pop. They recorded an album called "Solo Seducción" (Just Seduction). He has also been into Jazz Blues and Folk bands, working as a session musician too. He works since 20 years ago in commercial campaigns making Jingles for radio and tv. Sergio has always felt identified with Symphonic ProgRock, very near to YES, ELP, GENESIS, PINK FLOYD...He published his first album entirely in this musical way in 1999, titled "Passage to the Revelation", that was voted by public as the best album in the radio stations. Its production work was very commented in specialiced magazines from Europe, Southamerica and Eeuu. "" ------------------- I´m tired. If you wanna more tell me. Bye. |

Can someone roughly translate this please?
this artist may be added to PA soon but very little info on him. except this....
Nacido el 8 de Marzo de 1967 en la ciudad de Necochea, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, SERGIO ALVAREZ comenzó su romance con la música a los cinco años de edad tocando el piano junto a sus hermanos mayores ya que proviene de una familia integramente de músicos. Su padre fue bandoneonista y director de su propia orquesta de Tango en la década del 50. Sergio comenzó su etapa profesional a los 18 años formando una banda llamada “In Extremis” que duró casi diez años y con un gran éxito en su trayectoria. La banda estaba encuadrada en un estilo Rock-pop-sinfónico y con la misma grabó un disco titulado “Solo seducción” en 1995. También ha integrado otras formaciones como bandas de Jazz, Blues, Fol. Y Rock en carácter de cesionista. Además desarrolla desde hace varios años el género de música publicitaria componiendo Jingles para Radio y Televisión. Muy identificado con el Rock Sinfónico Progresivo, y en especial con los grandes clásicos como YES, GENESIS, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, PINK FLOYD, RICK WAKEMAN entre otros, SERGIO ALVAREZ lanzó su primer disco de Rock Progresivo llamado “Pasaje a la revelación” en 1999. Dicho trabajo fue votado como disco del año en el programa radial “Viajero inmóvil Radio Show” de la ciudad de Quilmas (Bs. As.). La producción fue comentada exitosamente en revistas especializadas de distintos países de Europa, Sudamérica y en los Estados Unidos; Progressión Magazine (USA), Progressive Newsletter (Alemania), Exposé (USA), Wonderous Stories (Italia), Background Magazine (Holanda), Mellotrón (Argentina) entre otras. En el año 2000 Sergio compone su segundo disco llamado “Escenas de ficción” que es lanzado al mercado a mediados de septiembre. Juntamente con ello, el 13 del mismo mes se presenta como soporte del legendario tecladista inglés RICK WAKEMAN (ex integrante del grupo YES) en el teatro Gran Rex de Buenos Aires ante unas 4000 personas, en la oportunidad en que Wakeman pasó por Argentina durante su tour sudamericano. En noviembre de 2001 es invitado a actuar en el Festival Internacional de Art Rock de Mexicali, Baja California (México) BAJA PROG VI en su edición 2002, no pudiendo asistir al mismo por razones de fuerza mayor. En octubre de 2003 realiza una mini gira europea actuando en diversos escenarios de Barcelona (España), Metz y Paris (Francia), Ámsterdam (Holanda) etc. A mediados de 2005 Sergio compone su tercer álbum llamado “Naturalezas disonantes” que es editado en febrero de 2006. En octubre de 2005 es nuevamente invitado a participar en el festival BAJA PROG X edición 2006, confirmando su presencia como único representante argentino y teniendo el honor de ser el único artista en actuar dos veces en la misma edición en la historia del BajaProg. Sergio hizo dos shows completamente distintos y los mismos fueron considerados como una de las mejores performances de la edición, además de haber sido él conceptuado por críticos especializados de distintos medios internacionales que se encontraban presente, como uno de los mejores tecladistas de Rock Progresivo del mundo, junto a celebridades como Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess y Patrick Moraz entre otros. Dichas participaciones como las demás presentaciones en vivo, Sergio las hizo acompañado por el baterista RUBEN NEBOT ; un músico de altísimo nivel y con un gran temperamento sobre el escenario que engrandecieron su figura a la hora de abordar los shows. En enero de 2007 Sergio se abocó a trabajar en su estudio proyectos musicales de otra índole y tambien en realizaciones audiovisuales como propietario de la productora EPSILON. Además de actuar en enero del 2007 en el Teatro Auditórium de Necochea donde realizó la producción de su DVD en vivo. En 2008 realizó un micro musical para televisión que se emitió diariamente a las 23 hs con gran aceptación por parte del público televidente. Desde fines de 2008, Sergio está formado con un nuevo baterista llamado MARCELO PAGANO, otro músico de gran nivel y templanza, con quién realizará en adelante la continuidad de su proyecto artístico. Actualmente comenzó con la composición de su nuevo álbum que será presentado posiblemente en el primer trimestre de 2010. También está organizando futuros shows en Argentina y preparando la agenda de conciertos internacionales del próximo año. |

Sure their influuences and connectios came from Triana, Smash and The Storm, but that was turned soon in heavy rock, or andalusi rock, nothing to see with prog rock. Sometimes may be confussions... Excuse me if I looked like weird or angry but I like people listen to me, and I live in Spain and I have seen Medina 7 times since 1986. They ever did PROG. Canarios?? I will tell you a secret: they were mercenaries of music, they never felt what they did. One of their members is the president of the rights for musicians and is a dictadorship here in Spain. He usuallly wants money from childs who makes a performance in their colleagues playing musical hits, a bad person... Iceber were great, but pay attention to ATILA, they were great too. Cheers! Saludos a Tecnotichlan.

Maybe Medina Azahara are not a prog band now, but i think they were a prog band in their beginnings and that's why I mentioned their first albums, to be more specific Paseando por la mezquita (1979) and La esquina del viento (1981), they have made more than 15 albums since then and i agree those are not prog. About Canarios i think it has some really good moments, maybe it was pretencious and not so original (because is based on Vivaldi's Four Seasons) but i still recommend it, I recently got the double cd minilp sleeve made in Japan and sold my jewel case cd. Gerinski is right, Iceberg was a great catalan band more jazz fussion oriented, but they made a glimpse to flamenco on "La flamenca electrica" from Coses Nostres.

Medina Azahara is NOT a prog band. Please, learn some of their sounds please.
And in respect to Los Canarios Ciclos...here in spain people does not love it too much. It was a boring experiment with some tramps and no prog music really, lyrical instead. Some of the musics played movements in guitars, drums...and they were no credited. They did the dirty job. A weird album, not recommended Edited by SergiUriah - June 02 2010 at 15:29 |

I will correct a previous poster who mentioned Iceberg as flamenco-prog. This is wrong. Iceberg was a catalan band and their music had nothing to do with flamenco-rock or -prog bands like Triana or Medina Azahara.
Iceberg's 1st LP "Tutankhamon" is a real gem of 70's prog-rock, really worth checking out. Their following albums went more towards the fusion direction but they are also great.
As classic flamenco-prog bands indeed Triana and Medina Azahara were wonderful.
In the more modern Neo-Prog style you have Dracma (especially their 2nd album "A fine stormy weather" is very good within the Neo realm), and Galadriel are also worth checking out.
And of course there is the classic double album "Ciclos" from Canarios which every 70's prog lover should know.
