Soluna for Prog Folk

BIO

SOLUNA is an argentinian spin-off band created when GUSTAVO SANTAOLALLA - Guitar & Vocals and HORACIO "DROOPY" GIANELLO - Drums left ARCO IRIS after the releasing of Agitor Lucens V, and joined forces with Alejandro Lerner - Keyboards, Mónica Campins - Vocals, Oscar "Osqui" Amante - Guitar, Percussion, Vocals, and Ricardo Libman - Bass, Vocals. Seeking a further development of the already strong vocal harmonies achieved with Arco Iris, and an experimental approach to folk song including a chamber-like string section and odd-meter song sections, they released Energía Natural, their only album, in 1977, enlisting as guests the following musicians: Charly Garcia - Keyboards, Mauricio Veber - Cello, Rody Ziliani - Accordion, Sergio Polizzi - Violin, Roberto Valencia - Percussion

^ Talking about García, his new solo album, entitled La Lógica del Escorpión, is next to be released.

^ Thank you Sean. I had this LP ages ago, and when I gave it a new listen this week, that's exactly what I thought.

^ I think that, to some extent at least, to each track is given a particular sound. García is using here and there keyboard sounds from his tenure with LMDHP, Amante moves from guitars to percussion, resulting in many different combinations.

Nice, I love it.

^ Great Ken, thanks. I understand your concern about the guests, and I'll try to answer to that with my source. It's a website (in Spanish) I learn to appreciate, since they document their claims with liner notes from original editions (when available), and well chosen quotes from specialized press of the era, including statements from the artists themselves. Here it is, in case you want to check the personnel list:
