Pappo’s Blues – Volumen I (1971) (@256)
31 Mar 2010
(Review from allmusic)
Latin/rock band from Argentina Pappo’s Blues was formed as a power trio in the late ’60s by ex-Los Abuelos de la Nada talented electric guitarist Norberto Napolitano, also known as Pappo, joined by bassist David Lebon and drummer Black Amaya.
Their debut album is a great introduction to Pappo’s Blues. Hard rock/psych from the early 70s — dirty, sloppy, loud guitar work…

- David Lebon / bass
- Carlos Amaya / drums
Track List:
01. Algo Ha Cambiado – 4:24
02. El Viejo – 2:40

Pescado Rabioso – Pescado 2 (1973) (@320)
10 Jun 2008
Thanks to Zen Archer for the contribution.
(Review from tinpan.fortunecity.com)
Bocón left and was replaced by David Lebón (ex- Pappo’s Blues and Color Humano) on bass. With this new line-up, the band went to studio to cut their new album in late 1972/early 73 : Pescado 2. This album is generally considered as the highest point of Spinetta’s creativity genius.
Pescado 2 is conceived as two separate LPs: one called Pescado, and the other called 2. The 18 tracks are numbered, and the numbers are part of the song titles as well.
Side A opens with “Panadero ensonado” a guttural duo between Luis and David, and is followed by the great saga “Iniciado del Alba”/”Poseído del Alba” lead by the Hammond organ with Leslie. “Como el viento voy a ver” is a wonderful easy blues number. The effects of “Viajero naciendo” and the first Lebón composition to be recorded “Mańana o pasado” close the side.
Side B features a rock & roll number “Nena boba”, “Madre Selva”, another superb moment of the album with climatic guitar and organ, and the enigmatic “Peteribi” (unique Argentine tree).
Side C begins with 16 seconds of “Peteribí” to give continuity to the whole concept. “Seńorita” is a group-improvised composition. “Credulidad” is an acoustic song with Spintetta reminding his early years. “Hola, pequeno ser!” is an anti-drug hard rock with excellent guitar and organ duels. “Mi espíritu se fue” is a nice ballad written by Bocon.
Side D opens with “Sombra de la noche negra”, a hard rock composed by Black Amaya with furious guitars and organs. The calm returns with “La cereza del zar”, a folk-psycho ballad, and “Corto” (originally called “Después de la bomba”) about the nuclear holocaust. The album closes with an absolute Spinetta masterpiece: “Cristálida”, a 9-minute opus with rhythm changes and orchestral arrangements.
Line-up:
- Luis Alberto Spinetta / guitar, vocals
