He Was One Of The Most Influential Rock Musicians Of Latin America And Together With Charly García Is Considered The Father Of Argentinean Rock. He Was Born In Buenos Aires Argentina In The Residential Neighbourhood Of Belgrano. Since He Was A Kid He Listened To All Kinds Of Music Folklore And Tango And A Little Bit Later Rock. As With Almost Every Other Rocker Of His Generation The Beatles Would Change His Life. In 1967 In The Midst Of A Repressive Political Climate He Formed A Band Called Almendra With School Mates. Contrasting With The Backwards And Authoritarian Government Of General Juan Carlos Onganía Argentina And Specially Buenos Aires Were Undergoing A Cultural Blossoming Based On New Art Expressions The New Generation The Sons Of The Middle Class Was Immersed In An Effervescence That Would Not Reappear In Argentina Until 1983. Spinetta Was Part And Later An Exponent Of That Blossoming And Rebellious Youth That Would Express Itself Both Through The Arms And The Arts. Spinetta Devoted Fully To The Latter Path Although He Briefly Became Involved With Left-Wing Political Movements. It Was 1969 And His Band Almendra Recorded Their First Album. The Band Started Recording And Playing Intensely And It Became Successful Almost Overnight. Almendra Composed Its Own Songs And The Lyrics Were In Spanish Something Radically New . The Subtlety And Beauty Of Their Sound Would Be One Of The Milestones Maybe The First Of Argentine Rock. After Two Albums That Enjoyed Radio Diffusion And Deserved Fame The Band Split. Spinetta Composed And Recorded A New Solo Album But An Inadequate Environment He Would Later Say That The Mood Of Argentine Rock And Rockers Of Those Times Were Too "heavy" And Negative For Him And The Vast Changes That Success Effected On His Life Made Him Leave The Country. After A Lengthy Stay In Europe He Returned To Argentina And Formed A New Band Pescado Rabioso. It Was Destined To Be As Mythical As Almendra. With A Far More Powerful Sound And Expressing The Tension In The Streets Of An Increasingly Violent Argentina Pescado Recorded Its First Album In 1972. It Was Both A Continuation Of The Creative Stream Of Spinetta And A Drastic Change In The Style Of His Music And Lyrics. The Band Recorded A Second Album Although A Third One Carried Its Name Pescado Was By Then Dissolved Artaud Recorded In 1973 And Mostly A Solo Album By Spinetta Was A Major Breakthrough. Partly Based On The Writings Of Antonin Artaud Spinetta Exorcised Many Of The Demons Of His Past In This Album. This Process Would Open The Door To A New Era In His Music. In 1974 He Formed A New Band Invisible. With His New Band He Recorded Three Albums Invisible I Durazno Sangrando Together With Artaud Hailed As His Best Album Ever And El Jardín De Los Presentes. With Invisible He Left The Powerful And Rough Sound Of Pescado The New Tunes Were More Harmonic Soft And Mellow Yet His Work Remained Essential And Revolutionary. Following This Line He Embarked On A Solo Project A 18' Del Sol After Dissolving Invisible In 1976-77. By Then Ten Years Later After Starting His Career His Style Had Became A Delicate Amalgam Of Old And New The Old Pop And Proto Heavy Rock Had Merged With Various Elements Of Jazz And Bossa Nova. That Unique Flavour Would Become His Style During The Next Half Decade. After Recording And Editing A Failed Album In The United States In 1979 The Only Album That Spinetta Lamented Ever Doing With Lyrics In English And Destined To The US Market Spinetta Returns To Argentina And Starts A Prolific Era He Would Record Two Albums With A Short-Lived Almendra Revival One With Original Songs And The Other Live And Embark On A New Project Spinetta Jade. Spinetta Jade Would Prove To Be A Successful And Innovative Band Spinetta Was Joined By Some Of The Greatest Argentinan Musicians Of Those And All Times To Help Him Build The New Sound He Was Building Since Invisible. The Product A Blend Of Jazz And Rock That Was Unseen In Argentina And That Escaped The Boom Of Symphonic Rock That Reached Both The World And Argentina In The Early 1980s. These Four Albums Alma De Diamante 1980 Los Niños Que Escriben En El Cielo 1981 Bajo Belgrano A Homage To The Neighbourhood Where He Grew Up 1983 And The Unforgettable Madre En Años Luz 1984 Represent A Defined Style As Well As The Footprints Of Spinetta´s Evolution. Towards The Last Two Albums The Sound Became A Little Bit More "pop" And Embedded With Electronic Elements Samplers And Synthesisers With "artificial" Textures . Something Worth Remarking The Overpowering Influence And Fame Of Spinetta In The Argentinian Rock World Was Only Equalled By That Of Charly García. Many Fans And Critics Shared The Feeling That The Two Musicians Represented Antagonistic Styles And Values. To Show Otherwise Spinetta And Charly With Their Respective Bands At The Moment Jade And Serú Giran Joined Efforts And Gave What Was Probably The Most Important Show In The History Of Argentine Rock. Dissolving Spinetta Jade In 1984 Spinetta Shortly Engaged In An Album To Be Made Together With Charly Yet This Would-Be Mythical Work Was Abandoned. Of This Interrupted Work Two Songs Remained "Rezo Por Vos" And "Total Interferencia". By 1982 Spinetta Had Restarted His Solo Projects And From Then On Would Never Leave Them.
