Biography
The two former Almendra: Rodolfo García and Emilio del Guercio created a rhythmic solid base, complemented by the incredible sound of guitarist Héctor Starc and Blues keyboardist Hugo González Neira, and formed Aquelarre one of the most outstanding bands of the '70, not only because of their popularity and originality, but because they opened new European markets for the national music.
Although their official debut did not take place until March 1972, they had already participated in B.A. Rock November 2 1971. That year they recorded their first album and only six months later their second one.
According to the critics of the time, the band started to consolidate as one of the most creative and original options of the Argentine rock. Their elaborated style, with constant melodic and rhythmic changes, their surrealist lyrics, their approach to free-jazz, did not fit in the music of that time, but they fascinated the rock fans alike.
Their prime was in 1975 with the album "Siesta". Before selling that record they decided to tour Spain, being abroad for almost a year. «We were about to break up. The trip saved the group because we weren’t stars there, there were no fans and we had to carry everything ourselves. Those things unified us a lot», says Starc (E.Abalos, page 118). They returned in 1977 to give their last concert at Luna Park, with Carlos Cutaia replacing González Neira and they released a record with their greatest hits.
In 2008 they released a box set that includes all the albums of the band (some already discontinued), plus a CD with unreleased material called "Otras pistas" and a book with journalistic material.
