5 stars A great Farewell

Cornonstipicum is the last release from the Argentine band MIA. MIA (Músicos Independientes Asociados) is a progressive rock group led by piano player Lito Vitale and his sister Liliana, on vocals and percussion .

Cornonstipicum is MIA's best work, featuring a strong progressive sound and a journey through music that mixes folk, progressive rock, and jazz. The great instrumentation in the album help each track create vivid images and emotions.

La Coronacion Del Farre - The opening track sets the tone with great keyboard work. The guitar and bass lines create a sense of celebration and greatness. The way the instruments work together shows MIA's talent in mixing traditional and modern sounds. Imagen III - This acoustic track has a more thoughtful sound, with a gentle, haunting voice guiding the melody. The soft music brings feelings of nostalgia, creating a reflective moment on the album, with keyboards adding depth.

Crifana Y Tamilstenes - This song mixes simple and complex rhythms, showing the band's versatility. The interaction between voices and instruments creates a lively conversation, moving between energetic parts and quieter moments. It feels like an adventure through different landscapes.

Las Persianas - Just 50 seconds long, this piece has a sound like Gentle Giant.

Piedras De Color - A piano solo featuring Vitale's impressive skills.

Cornonstipicum - An epic track that lasts almost 20 minutes, showcasing great teamwork and the unique sound of analog electronic keyboards blending with folk elements and amazing voices.

Cornonstipicum by MIA is an instrumental masterpiece that highlights the band's creativity. The album brings emotions and images to life through sound alone and shows Lito Vitale's growth as a musician from his debut at 14 to now at 18. This last record leaves the door open for future bands and the next generation of musicians in the Argentine rock scene.
