Rock Pioneers from the Argentine province of Tucumán, this band were part of the 1971 B.A. Rock festival. Their songs exuded the spirit of the 70's, in which Psychedelic Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, and Folk Rock represented a faithful reflection of the band’s style, which had certain similarities to Almendra or Coven, and marked a strong influence on the group’s successor, Redd. This double album contains on its first CD, studio recordings made in 2004. The second CD shows us how the group sounded live. The first eleven songs date from the historic show, "El Cuartetazo" (1974), when they shared the stage with Aquelarre. The remaining tracks were culled from the “Circulo de la Prensa de Tucumán” concert, which took place in July, 1972.

The passage of Trigémino through the Progressive Argentine Rock scene has left indelible footprints among those fortunate enough who managed to see them play live-in-concert, between 1976 and 1981. They performed typically-South American-flavoured Symphonic Rock, in the traditional vein of Espíritu or Redd, and inevitably, as so many bands from back then, had certain obvious influences by Yes. Unfortunately, they did not leave any recordings of their compositions behind. In 2005, the original line-up decided to go into the studio, in order to recreate the songs from their most memorable phase, albeit with the original tonal sound and instrumentation pertaining to all those years ago.

"Catálogo de vinilos de Rock Argentino" is the first work that finally accepts the challenge of going through the complete history of Argentine Rock album covers. The period covered (1958-1996) generates a pleasant surprise: the book is encouraged to discuss the official history of Argentine Rock and dares to include records pertaining to the first Jazz orchestras (such as Eddy Pequenino's combo), that tip-toed their way into the genre.
