We were in our twenties when I first saw him. Alphonsinista spring had just dawned, and a crude sign in some street announced it thus: “Lito Vitale in Economics”. There were no big lights or sound equipment. He and his piano (I seem to remember that it was a simple upright piano) were on one side of the entrance hall of the college, on Cordoba Street. I couldn’t believe that this phrase that was often repeated among “rock musicians” at that time could be true: “You can’t see his fingers!” A few years ago, I was a teenager (like every teenager) who was fanatical about this stuff and had only ever seen anything like this in my life. Alvin Lee (guitarist of Ten Years After, one of the stars of the Woodstock festival) and locally in Hector Stark (Coven, Tantor).
Leto’s speed was, of course, already remarkable, but above all, because he practiced it on the basis of musical expression, it was not a resource in itself. He was just closing his theater This wonder was mine He would soon prove that his talent, and above all, his intense work and open concept of music, would take him much further.
Soon after, the trio will arrive with… Bernardo Parrag and Lucho Gonzaleza group that actually integrated popular music in this country, without much label, and which committed the “sacrilege” of not using percussion.

You may have realized that trap and all its antecedents and variants do not come to me as easily as any other musical expression. but I learned a long time ago not to close my ears before listening. And so much more since my kids started bringing their own knowledge home.. This is how they arrived Whos (Valentin Oliva), thunder (Matteo Palacios Corazina) and milo c (Camilo Joaquín Villarroel), among others.
I discovered Melo a while ago at a football association! Sessions, already with Lito Vitali combined and doing his thing. I heard him singing “Hippie” with the AfroSound Gospel Choir in the garden of Mix’s house. There’s much more to it than just the gossip of the neighborhood kid. Or that too, but keep in mind that there was an 18-year-old “kid” who had a level of expression that many would like. And now he has just released the song “Life Was Shorter”. At 19 years old, he has the maturity to combine his album with figures like the brothers Cote, Roberto Carabajal, Silvio Rodriguez, Soledad and even Mercedes Sosawhose voice comes from a “found” recording.
