Gualberto - Vericuetos. 1976 Spain


Vericuetos is a Spanish progressive rock classic. Borrowing heavily from the music of India and regional Spain (Andalusia especially), Gualberto incorporates these sounds with a classic Anglo progressive rock perspective for a truly unique blend. Gualberto's guitar style is soulful and rocks hard in places. He also contributes quite a bit of sitar for this album. Plenty of violin and String Synthesizer as well. A must discovery.


Ownership: LP: 1976 Movieplay. Gatefold. This copy was picked up from a friend in 1997. The first LP I owned was the single sleeve going back to 1993. Had the Lost Vinyl CD once but sold it off since it added nothing extra.
