Album lore

Spinetta Los Amigo documents two sessions from March 4 and 5, 2011, at La Diosa Salvaje studio, assembling Luis Alberto Spinetta with Rodolfo García on drums and Daniel Ferrón on bass. This trio, known as Los Amigo, captures the final recordings Spinetta made alongside his longtime collaborator García and Ferrón. The album’s seven tracks, including “Iris” and its acoustic reprise, unfold within a framework of Argentine rock tinged with jazz undertones, reflecting the trio’s shared history and musical rapport.Released posthumously in December 2015 by Columbia, the record also features contributions from Spinetta’s children—Dante, Catarina, Valentina, and Vera—adding a familial layer to this artifact. The sessions evoke the resonance of a seasoned ensemble, balancing improvisation with composed structure, a hallmark of Spinetta’s late-period work. This record stands as a vital document within the artist’s canon and the Argentine rock lineage.
