bubu

Bubu was an Argentinean progressive band that only existed during some years in the late seventies and that only released one album called Anabelas. Although recorded in 1978, the album was not released until 1983 due to censorship from the dictatorship government at that time.
Bubu´s music is very intricate and original making their style hard to categorize. While Avant garde might be the best description, it still would not be enough, as this band also takes elements from Jazz, Symphonic prog and even some Zeuhl.

Andrew Taylor

"Sometimes I like to lose myself whilst playing music, a lot of different stuff comes out. I first learnt the guitar playing along to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and my first instrument was made from a cereal box, a kitchen roll tube and some elastic bands". Andrew Taylor's new album, entitled Mohribold, is an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. The hour plus of music is crammed with a detail and energy that seems to come from another realm.
