Bubu- Anabelas: The re-birth of an avant-garde symphonic prog monster It is not with sheer joy, but with overwhelming jouissance that we undertook the demanding task to reissue on vinyl the behemoth that is called Anabelas. Heralded in its contemporary 70s music press in Argentina as a phenomenal release, and venerably revered globally for many years to come by progrock aficionados as a best-kept secret, this polymorphously succulent and lusciously multi-faceted concept album retains the awe of the vertiginous moment of a newly discovered land and the aura of an authentic artwork (in every single piece of this limited 500 copies pressing). Unfettered by the stealthily eroding repetitiveness that eventually forces aural innovations into the territory of trite and lackluster replicas, Bubu’s Anabelas still beguiles the most demanding listener by dint of its unique compositional trajectory that is marked by the implosive amalgamation of symphonic prog with neo-classical, zeuhl with free j...

  Bubu- The official biography Original text in Spanish by: Felipe Abel Surkan, Viajero Inmóvil Records, with the direction of Daniel Andreoli. Editing by: George Rossolatos, PQR- Disques plusqueréel. The origins of Bubu date back to the beginning of 1973, a period of intense creative fermentation that was driven by the avant-garde ideal of the renowned Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a hallmark in literature, theater, plastic arts, and the progressive side of rock music. The early band formation featured Carlos Noel Reyes, nick-named ‘Noelito’, violinist, and luthier, great-nephew of poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda, Jorge ‘Monín’ Liechtenstein (later in Orion's Beethoven) on drums, and Daniel Andreoli on bass. Shortly thereafter, guitarist Sergio Blostein, an experienced performer initially with Nervio Trío and later with Zapenledomun (1969-1972), and flutist Ricardo La Civita joined the band, and expanded its musical horizon to new possibilities....

  BUBU: George Rossolatos  interview with  Daniel Andreoli  GR: In many respects, Bubu may and have been described as an ‘oddball’ in the 70’s Argentinean scene that was dominated by the highly politicized ‘rock nacional’. Not only does it differ from the ‘rock’ oriented bands (e.g. Spinetta’s offshoots), in terms of musical and lyrical orientation, but Bubu also deviates from the more stereotypically symphonic exponents, such as Crucis and labelmates Alas. Stylistically, Bubu lies much closer to Italian prog bands that combined neo-classical patterns with avant-garde touches. Were you familiar with the Italian scene at the time you composed Anabelas? If yes, which bands would you consider as influential? DA: As you explain stylistically well, Bubu is much closer to the Italian progressive bands that combined neo-classical patterns with avant-garde touches. However, to be honest I didn´t have access to that material until the advent of the Internet, thirty years ...
