Forty years ago, back in 1977, this prestigious Argentine bandoneon player shared recording sessions with some very important musicians, such as Litto Nebbia and Rodolfo Alchourrón, among others. The result of such joint studio time became this LP, that masterfully fuses the sounds of Argentine Folklore, Tango, Jazz, and Progressive Rock.

This album was entirely recorded in the studio, an environment which allowed them to play around with multi-layered vocal and instrumental recordings, as well as to simply sing songs they love.

Highly-talented, self-taught, seminal, and influential guitarist, who was influenced himself by the greatest earthling players in the business, who along with his lyrics and very particular, original and personal way of singing, set the precedent for Heavy Rock sung in Spanish.

The musicians who were interviewed for this research are the following: Pomo, Alberto Abuelo, Pipo Lernoud, Claudio Gabis, Billy Bond, Héctor Starc, Daniel Ripoll, Moro, Litto Nebbia, David Lebon, Black Amaya, Machi, Fanta, Alejandro Medina, Rolando Castello Jr., Vitico, and Pappo himself.

Passionate and many times controversial, Litto Nebbia tells everything. It is now fifty years since "La balsa", and the Argentine Rock pioneer, it must be said, was the very first to have no prejudice whatsoever with any musical genre, by merging Rock with Jazz, Brazilian Popular Music, Folklore, Bolero, and encouraging uncharted, never-before-explored musical territories. As unclassifiable as its author, "Mi banda sonora" threads, just like a soundtrack should, varying scenes from his own life history, scenes from his abundant songs and albums, his friends, his favourite movies and composers, his endless tours, and his own personal opinions. And together with all of these, thousands of memoirs, dreams and passions turn this book into a labour of love that is well-projected and directed into the future.

This is a book inhabited by the very vivid and very real characters, who tell their own story. They are the real personages and places - La Cueva. La Perla. Villa Gesell - where what we know today as Rock de Acá (Rock from Here), was originally conceived. These protagonists, who were of course very young back in those formative years, remember with absolute detail all those mythological adventures. And together they build the story of Mauricio Birabent (Moris), the poet or prophet of that incredibly vibrant moment. Moris taught us to sing Rock in Spanish. To have a Rocker attitude and the necessary independence that any Rocker needs, to keep well away from all the powers-that-be, the police, the entertainment industry (which was corporately embodied back then in what was known as "Escala Musical"), and, alas, to keep a respectable distance from formal and polite education. In a nutshell, he taught us all how to think for ourselves.

They were first known as Los Wilds Cats back in 1963, in the image and likeness of local Argentine outfit Los Teen Tops. In 1965, with Litto Nebbia as their lead singer, they were re-baptized as Los Gatos Salvajes. With a more Beatlesque type-of-sound, they were hired by the television programme "Escala Musical" and recorded a long play featuring a collection of tracks penned by Nebbia himself. Finally, in 1967, Ciro Fogliatta and Litto, together with Alfredo Toht, Oscar Moro, and Kay Galiffi, reassembled the band and called themselves Los Gatos. This formation recorded the mythical "La Balsa" (by Litto Nebbia and Tanguito) and "Ayer nomás" (by Moris and Pipo Lernoud), a 45 RPM disc that became the founding iconic pillar of the Rock movement in Argentina. After recording 3 albums right up until their first separation, and with the addition of Pappo in 1969, they became the most perfect transition between sixties' Beat and early seventies' Rock.

It happened during the mid-sixties in the City of Buenos Aires' district of Barrio Norte, inside a basement locale known as "La Cueva de Pasarotus" (later to be known simply as "La Cueva", where several young people who had been born in the 1940's started to meet and converge, as they were commonly attracted by Jazz. They soon attempted to gradually change the musical trends of the joint towards Beat and Rock. Within this group of pioneers were Moris, Pajarito Zaguri, Sandro, Billy Bond, Pipo Lernoud, Tanguito, Litto Nebbia, and Javier Martínez, who gave birth to the idea of composing Rock and Blues songs sung in Spanish, to reflect the reality of what they were living through in their everyday lives, in a country ruled by a military regime. After participating in a musical experience with Moris in Villa Gesell and being part of La Banda de Gastón, in 1967, drummer and singer Javier Martinez met Claudio Gabis, the guitarist of Bubblin Awe, and Alejandro Medina, bass player with Los Seasons, with whom he formed Manal, the founding Rock band in Argentina.

Almendra left its heavy footprint legacy, so that Rock music in Argentina could have its Experimental and Avant-Garde quota through the poetry of Luis Alberto Spinetta and the audacity of that legendary and mythical band, in order to lay the foundations for a new musical aesthetic and fusion that could only be carried forward by true pioneers and references who were in it for the long run. Short-lived, though intense (1968-1970), in 1979 Almendra came back and gifted us with a double live album, as well as a studio LP effort, culminating their story in the year 2009 with five songs played live-in-concert during the "Spinetta y sus bandas eternas" mega-show event, which remained as an everlasting worthy memory of those who boarded that train to the south.

Although "La Pesada del Rock and Roll" existed only between 1970-1974, its open band policy made it essential to help add to the growth of Rock in Argentina, not only because of the participation of Pappo, Luis Alberto Spinetta and the members of Manal (even though they had already split by then), but for what he represented ideologically with his "in-your-face" attitude of confronting authoritarianism during unstable political moments of the country, with repression and censorship carried out by de facto military governments, as well as the "democratically"-elected government of Juan Domingo Perón, which, when he died while still in office, continued in the same autocratic and brutal vein by his evil minister Jose López Rega, creator of the repressive Triple A paramilitary secret police cell.

When everything was nothing, nothing was the beginning, but the history of "Rock de acá" is not born out of nothing; it exists thanks to Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll, and it would not be the same without local Tango and Folk. This story begins long before "La Balsa", as part of a new generation of inspired young people born in the 1940's, who were connected with the international cultural and political movements of those times, and who helped to mold and change the way of Argentine people's thinking in general. Between 1992 and 2015, Ezequiel Abalos interviewed the pioneers of "Rock de acá", in order to unravel the true origins of Rock in Argentina. With Miguel Grinberg's prelude, this expanded reprint includes a CD with all of the book's interviews conducted with forty musicians and producers who were there.

For many readers, Pipo Lernoud is the real ideologist behind Argentine Rock. He founded emblematic magazines depicting this movement, such as Expreso Imaginario, Canta Rock and La Mano. He was one of the pioneering forces behind Organic Agriculture and wandered dozens of stages, scenes and settings in order to recite his own poetic works. It is through his trove of diaries, letters, poems, songs, articles, and postings that "Yo no estoy aquí" reveals the embryonic origins and growing pains of the Alternative Culture: its' social and political coming of age from the sixties up to the present.

To describe the musical deformation that this band has produced in this their second album, is a highly complicated challenge. The group's music is complex, as it is sonically-speaking of an Electronic / Alternative Pop orientation, albeit also comprising crisscrossing rhythms and poly-rhythms, constant changes and arrangements linked to an academic level of Progressive Jazz and Rock component. We could associate these lads' sound to that of Muse.
