PIEL DE PUEBLO 'Rock De Las Heridas' LP (Spain, Beat Generation, Catalogue #BEAT 33) Brand new/unplayed copy of superior Beat Generation label 180-gram vinyl LP edition of rare Argentinean heavy psych rock album (originally released in 1972 on the Disc Jockey label)  by Argentinean super-combo Piel De Pueblo.

(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES ONLY!)

'Alberto Ramon Garcia, better known as Pajarito Zaguri, is one of the key protagonists in the history of Argentinean rock -- first with Los Beatniks, Los Naufragos, and later in La Barra De Chocolate. Piel De Pueblo was a short-live project which only released one album, Rock De Las Heridas, in 1972 on the Disc Jockey label. Apart from Pajarito, the band featured big names from Buenos Aires rock such as Nacho Smilari, who, after his stint in La Barra De Chocolate, had been rocking out it Vox Dei, and Carlos Calebro, an outstanding drummer who would later play with Smilari in Cuero. And let's not forget that Piel De Pueblo's bass player, Willy Pedemonte, would end up playing with Miguel Cantilo y Grupo Sur after the band's dissolution. Piel De Pueblo's members defined the evolution of Argentinean rock, both in the previous and later projects, and Pajarito would also have a long and intense career that continues to this day. Rock De Las Heridas is a raw, hard rock record, with some progressive tinges such as violin and keyboard arrangements, but most of all, it's a piece of work that screams rage and desperation, just as the album title points out (trans. "Rock From The Wounds"). It's a record that forsees in its lyrics the dark period Argentina would live through after the military coup and ensuing dictatorship, ironically named "Process Of National Reorganization." A devastating blow for a generation under the influence of Peronism, who shouted freedom using electric instruments. Limited to 500 copies only.'

'This short-live Argentinean hard-rock group was put together by Pajarito Zaguri (ex-Los Beatniks and La Barra De Chocolate) and Nacho Smilari (ex-La Barra De Chocolate and Vox Dei). Their album will appeal to fans of Pappo's Blues, Cuero and Montes. Lyrically it tried to deal with political and social issues of the day. Highlights include Por Tener Un Poco Mas because of the electric violin of Hector Lopez Furst, the wah-wah guitar on Jugando A Las Palabras and the guitar driven Silencio Para Un Pueblo Dormido. Nacho Smilari and Carlos Calebro were later in Cuero.' -  Vernon Joynson/Dream, Fantasies And Nightmares
