FRUTOS DEL PAIS - VINYL FRUTOS DEL PAIS [VINYL]

Popis - FRUTOS DEL PAIS [VINYL]:
'Frutos Del País' (1972) is released now on vinyl, from the original IRT masters! Frutos Del País was born from the union of two Chilean rock bands, Los Picapiedras and Beat 4. Their sound was quite advanced for the time, their song 'Sin Ti' is still heard on the radio in Chile. The band's sound is very influenced by Procol Harum, but that doesn't detract from its tremendous quality. Maybe this song reminds them of Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale,' especially the sound of the Hammond organ. They did not have a direct musical relationship with the groups that in the early '70s fused rock influences with acoustic folk instruments, but Frutos Del País belonged to the generation that at that time changed the guard for this music in Chile. By genealogy, they were the continuation of bands from the previous decade, such as Los Picapiedras and the Beat 4. Their two albums, 'Frutos Del País' (1972) and the more unnoticed 'Y Volar... Y Volar' (1974) described a brief trajectory but immortalized by one of the authentic and most recognizable hymns in the history of rock in Chile: the ballad 'Sin Ti,' characterized by the Hammond organ of keyboardist Hugo Raymond and the evocative lyrics of singer Reinaldo Rhino González.
