| A great event that solidifies Mexico City's reputation as one obligatory stop for Prog's leading bands. Also a great showcase for up-and-coming awesome bands like Ekos! |

Gullermo!!!! Good to see ya man. Great and interesting lineup. I haven't heard of Meliora either. Any samples out there to be found. I couldn't find anything.. seems to be a oft-used band name so all I get is hits for those other bands. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Not really. Baja Prog can't be replaced, but we all hope it returns in the near future. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

Hi, Micky, always nice to see you as well!  Meliora are still with a low-profile since they have not released any official album yet, but I can share you their FB page, in which there are some vids from performances: https://www.facebook.com/melioraband/ ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |
