This is a backing soundtrack made over a drums demo track used on the 'Gigantes Gentiles' ('Gentle Giants') radio show some years ago. I found it by chance while looking for other files and decided to share it now.

Rainy Season

El Mes De Las Lluvias (Rainy Season) feat. E. Galimany

Another old song brought to the present.
It's just a shade of blues tone over a reggae base to make a happy and funny song using electric guitars, drums, bass, and keyboard doing the brass and the organ parts.

"Foco" es una vieja composición de la década de los 80s originalmente creada con batería electrónica, teclado Casio, bajo hecho con el teclado y mi vieja Epiphone Genesis. Esta es una recreación con sintetizadores y batería virtuales, bajo Fender Jazz Bass y la irreemplazable Genesis. 
Dedicada a mi querido amigo Carlos Persello @carlos-persello.

"Foco" is an old composition from the '80s originally composed and recorded using a rhythm box, a tiny Casio keyboard, bass lines made with the keyboard, and my old Epiphone Genesis. In this opportunity, I revisited the song using several virtual synths, virtual drums, a Fender Jazz Bass, and my irreplaceable Epi Genesis.
Dedicated to my dear friend Carlos Persello

Foco

Foco - Reissue 2023

El 21 de septiembre de 1973 debutó mi primera banda propia, "Rata Intelectual".  Fue también la fecha en la que dejé el bajo para tocar la guitarra y por primera vez tocamos un par de temas en vivo.
A 50 años de ese momento, rescato en este primer set los tres primeros temas que compuse, nada originales y con enormes influencias de Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Pappo y Spinetta.
Estas versiones no están muy prolijas pero representan a lascomposiciones originales en su estilo y con un sonido más depurado para que suenen actuales.

Opus 2

Opus 1

Ocho Veces

Durante 1973 mi banda "Rata Intelectual" formaba con bajo, batería y guitarra líder. 'Opus 3' es un tema preparado para trío que modifiqué cuando se agregó un nuevo integrante y yo pasé del bajo a la guitarra rítmica.
'Segundo Tema' quedó llamado así ('Second Theme') porque era el segundo de cuatro temas de una suite que finalmente no terminé. Esta versión cuenta con el agregado de teclados que no estaban presentes en la original. El resto es igual y reproduce los arreglos de mi extinto amigo Daniel Eusebi (RIP), profundo admirador de Jan Akkerman. Sobre el final hay una aproximación al estilo de Steve Howe de quien era fan yo por aquellos años.
Esta segunda parte cierra el período que pude recuperar de 1973 basado en registros conservados en viejos cassettes.

During 1973 my band "Rata Intelectual" was formed with bass, drums and lead guitar. 'Opus 3' is a song prepared for trio that I modified when a new member was added and I went from bass to rhythm guitar.
'Segundo Tema' was called so ('Second Theme') because it was the second of four themes from a suite that I finally did not finish. This version has the addition of keyboards that were not present in the original. The rest is the same and reproduces the arrangements of my late friend Daniel Eusebi, a deep admirer of Jan Akkerman. At the end there is an approximation to the style of Steve Howe, of whom I was a fan in those years.
This second part closes the period that I was able to recover from 1973 based on records preserved on old cassettes.

Los Habitantes del Fin

Miedos Puros (Primal Fears)

I have loved music for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to rock, pop, folk, classical, soul, blues, tango ... I discovered progressive rock and fusion a little later. You can find all genres and a wide diversity of styles in my compositions often developed for playing guitar or bass. I have been broadening the horizon using VST instruments, so I am making more complex arrangements, many times with the help of very good friends.
