Hi,
This wonderful band released two albums in the late 70's.They were one of the first South American band to fuse their very own brand of native folk with elaborated prog rock using Andeans exotic instruments such as quena,tiple,flute,charango and bombo.The combination of those instruments with more traditional rock instruments such as bass,drums,guitars as well as symphonic gear like ARP,Moog,mellotron,electric pianos ect...gave the band a unique character that could compare with such legendary names as Los Jaivas,Aucan,Arco Iris and Magma(no,not the French band).
They released two albums,the first,self-titled in 1977 and the second ''Senales sin Edad'' in '79.
Both of them are avalable on a single CD.
I would strongly suggest them to either the folk prog or ecclectic categories.
Unfortunately I was unable to finad any sound clips,but a few links(some in Spanish);

| I know both albums - they're really a refined example of rock-fusion, mixing Andean folk with prog-oriented art-rock. They have my vote although I'm not a member of the Prog folk team. |

But I am
 and your vote counts too!! (as any other collab's votes) Alain, I'll open up the entry page if you write the bio up.
I'm looking forward to discovering this!
Sounds like an Argentinian Los Jaives ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Sean's last sentence is an accurate synthesis of what HORIZONTE is all about. All who love prog-folk with Andean roots will love this, especially the second album, which is where the band feels more confident and delivers more powerful instrumentations. They're still fondly remembered by prog rock lovers from Argentina, and their entry in PA might as well reinforce their legacy for present and future prog rock collectors.
Kind regards.

I could help with that. Just give me a couple of days.
I can also provide tracklistings, musicians' credits and links to cover images (hopefully).

How about this bio.-
Argentinean band HORIZONTE was formed in 1975 with the idea of fusing rock and Andean folklore. The band toured extensively for years (especially in the middle provinces of Since HORIZONTE is forged in the mold of classic JAIVAS and pre-“Agitor “ ARCO IRIS, their music is naturally recommended to prog fans with a special sensibility toward Latin American rock-folk and fusion. |

It's adapted from the two links appeared on the original message.
The two LP's have been reissued in one CD, but I don't know the label for either the albums or the CD.
Kind regards.
