Prog in spanish

I do know a bit of prog in spanish that I like a lot. I can start with Triana, their first two albums are wonderful. Abre la Puerta would be my favourite song from them. Los Jaivas has Alturas de Matchu Pitchu that is very well loved, but I particularly love the song La Poderosa Muerte. Soliloquio from Iconoclasta is a nice album, specially 7:19. There's a good deal of music from Cast that I love, though some of their albums are in english, and some in spanish... I have actually only looked for the ones in spanish from them. They have many great songs, but the album Originalis is particularly great, specially the song Frente al Umbral. I also love the song El Puente, the version on the album Arsis. Elfonía has some nice stuff too. Also Flor de Loto has some nice music... I know it mostly because of the live album Medusa. And there is the band Ekos, with the song Obscuridad that I love, as well as the whole album Otra Dimensión. And Stream of Passion, a project started by Lucas Arjensen of Ayreon with the singer of Elfonía, did a song in spanish called Delirio which is very nice (though they mostly did their music in english). And I might add an interesting choice from Soda Stereo, in their "unplugged" album they did a cover called Genesis which I love, and sort of borders prog territory... the original band, Vox Dei, I understand were rather progressive... or at least the album in which they released that album, which I only heard a bit of once, but did sound interesting. And going into spanish related territory, I loved the Brazilian's band Bacamarte's album Depois Do Fim, in Portuguese, specially the song Úlimo Entardecer.

Nexus - Metanoia (Argentina).

Hey man, your link isn't working...

Also, I make documentaries in English about my favorite Spanish rock bands. My latest is on Almendra, Spinetta's first band. Here is the playlist that includes Charly Garcia's bands.

I love Genesis performed by Soda Stereo. I gave a quick listen to the Vox Dei album and it sounded really nice... though perhaps Genesis itself I still prefer the Soda Stereo version (or perhaps I'm just very used to that version of the song).

Anothe great cover by Gustavo Cerati is Bajan (Pescado Rabioso 1973 Artaud)

I've been digging Mediabanda recently. Killer group from Chile.

There's a good new band called Artefactron. I just recommended them in the recs section. https://artefactron.bandcamp.com/
