Bubu is an argentinian band from seventies. They started circa 1970, with a band named
Sion (name of a spirit).
Anabelas had came only in 1983, because they had political problems and recorders
obstacles, but in that time they played many other songs live, like a 15-minute version
of "Eleanor Rigby".
As other reviewers said, this album is a mix of Symphonic Progressive and Rock In
Opposition. Frank Zappa, King Crimson and Genesis are their main influences, but they also
used to listen John Coltrane, free jazz, contemporary classical music.
Unfortunately, they didn't record more albums. Sergio Blostein said in an interview they
were very exigent with themselves, and they just would record something better than
Anabelas.
But, according to Wim Fortsman (stevehegede.tripod.com/wiminterview.htm), there will be
a second Anabelas edition, with bonus tracks and pictures from the group.
The bonus probably are: "Carnavalito" (that runs around 20 minutes) and "Cloud Train".
They have also two versions of a Tango, "City" (by Andreoli), "Florian's Song" (by Wim),
and they edited a demo called "Film".
All fans are waiting a long time for these precious tracks!
Bubu is an excelent band, considering this great album. They are my preferred from
Argentina. It's always a pleasure recommend and speak about Bubu. I give five stars to
this band with no regret!
