[edit] History
After Almendra dissolution in 1970, Emilio del Güercio (bass) and Rodolfo García (drums) joined with Héctor Starc (guitar) and Hugo González Neira (keyboards) to form Aquelarre.
The official debut of the band was in 1972 (even though they had performed previously in B.A.Rock II festival, 1971), and they recorded their first album (Aquelarre) later this year. It followed Candiles (1973), Brumas (1974) and Siesta (1975). This year they started a tour in Spain. They returned to Argentina (without González Neira) in 1977 for their goodbye concert.
[edit] Style
Their music was more sophisticated than the standard Argentine rock-and-roll from the early '70s, with constant rithmic and melodic changes, surrealistic lyrics, and even free jazz passages.
