Well folks, I know I missed some time after blogspot eliminated most of the content of the blog, but promised he would return and here I am starting from scratch again. So thank you very much to everyone who supported me and challenged me to go ahead, do not name them because I might forget someone but want to represent in the Hend-Ricks colleague ... thanks for the support man ...
Thinking that could restart the laburo decided that the magic of the music of the soul, the root of rock, those twelve-bar blues that started it all was the best way to say this again ... and looking between my cachureos again I turned to find with this gem, a great summary of some of the best songs in the history of Argentine rock in the hands blues guitarist, in my opinion, the brighter of the continent, Claudio Gabis.
But what makes a guitarist is considered a master ... osea many walk guys trying to play a thousand notes per second, and that is fine, but the most important blues, as I told above, the ability to smelt and cast deep feeling on the guitar, the instrument has made life own and connected directly to the heart of the performer. Gabis That he can do for forty years when he was perhaps the first South American blues guitarist and has planned all these years as a teacher of all Argentine and Brazilian guitarists who came after him. And maybe to many, even in Argentina, his name did not sound like much, but close enough to recognize their sound immediately as a teacher. Claudio started playing
the mid-sixties in an emerging underground scene of Buenos Aires as part of the first line of Los Abuelos de la Nada, but it was the foundation of the group which would give Manal notoriety. Together with Alejandro Medina and Javier Martínez became one of the founders of rock in English with a proposal very heavy for its time, the blues-based music, heavily influenced by Cream. But from the beginning Gabis not impressed by the then God Clapton, with extensive knowledge of jazz and traditional blues became a Don Quixote trying to expand the ears of his countrymen to music that nobody thought he could have some success the same Gabis admits he felt for a long time until a lone warrior appeared Pappo and knew she was not alone.
After the dissolution of Manal joined Billy Bond's Heavy, recording with the leading exponents of Argentine rock in fact he plays in the first disc of Sui Generis and many other artists of the time. After the 1976 coup he emigrated to Spain where he began his other role as blues guitar teacher, work continued this work in Brazil where he was a jazz and blues bands today and is recognized for his work. With the return of democracy returned to Argentina where he has spent to train several generations of guitarists today are proud to have been his students.
Claudio's influence in his country was so strong that many steps were followed in both the rock and the blues to today and perhaps without its presence the amount of blues tradition of Buenos Aires not be the same and would back many years but for the presence of Gabis who from the darkness of his low profile has become an essential that is worth seeing and enjoying.
In 1995 a new meeting of Manal not included in their ranks sparking a controversy, in fact I could never hear without Gabis Manal, I find unacceptable ... the downturn was the fact that he had his musician friends to convince him recording again, returning to old classics, accompanied by outstanding musicians that helped shape ... all the magic of this guitar a soul, a project called Claudio Gabis and Selection.
The success of the album made in 1997 will record a second part was a necessary fresh look at the classic confrontation in a fresh, quality and does not seem old songs but new material is always current. In 2002 both albums were reissued as a double album, if I have understood that already but can not find in stores, too bad, but the industry already has us accustomed to his contempt for art in a country like Argentina with such musical tradition so little recognition they receive their artists.
Gabis To do justice to is time and so many others who know and enjoy it together with all the greats of blues and rock from Argentina ... and a couple of English people who surely know ...
