Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released amidst contractual disputes, Spinetta's chaotic solo debut serves as a wild, psychedelic bridge between Almendra's breakup and the formation of Pescado Rabioso. Informally known as 'Spinettalandia y sus amigos,' the record embodies an anarchic, improvisational spirit shaped by Argentina's countercultural movement.
