La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros ("The bird-making machine") was a mid 1970s progressive and symphonic rock band from Argentina. In spite of its very short lifespan (2 years), it was a successful group musically during that period, but did not achieve mainstream popularity.

Their self-titled debut in 1976 was a blend of sixties rock, jazzrock, classic and symphonic rock. The compositions were drenched in the progrock tradition but had a strong typical South-American atmosphere featuring latin and soul music elements.^[1] Their second and final album, 1977's Películas leaned more towards jazz and some experimentation. The opening track "Obertura 777" is one of the most recognizable argentine instrumental rock songs.
