Hector
 "Daddy" Antogna was one of the most original drummers that came out 
from Argentinian Progressive & Psychedelic Rock. He was among the 
first ones in Argentina to play irregular patterns along with a unique 
free style. During the 70's he recorded in legendary records like Ave 
Rock's self-titled first album, Orion's Beethoven's "SuperAngel" , and 
played hundreds of gigs with different projects involving people like 
Pastoral, Madre Atomica, Alejandro Medina, punk-guitar hero Stuka and 
Brazilian poet Vincius de Moraes. In the 80's an unfortunate accident 
put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but after years of 
rehabilitation he started playing again with and adapted drum-kit. With 
his band Daddy Antogna & los de Helio he went back to the stages and
 also released "Viva Belice" (2009, Viajero Inmovil) an acclaimed album 
that was Antogna's comeback after more than 35 years. In the final part 
of his life Daddy rejoined his old friends of Ave Rock. He was one of great durmmers coming from Argentine rock.
