Conexion "Preparad El Camino Del Señor"1972 Spanish Jazz Rock

  • 10 years ago
Conexion was a kind of Spanish version of Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago, i.e. up-beat, song-oriented jazz-rock with brass and guitars. Their first album had a side-long track of greater interest, an ambitious instrumental named "Concierto Uno".

After recording a number of singles, they released in 1973 the LP Harmony with the label Movieplay, then they realised one more single and dissapeared. They make a commercial sould with progressive touches, so we can consider them as one of the pioneers of our progressive. Luis Miguel Fornés was afterwards in other spanish prog bands like Agamenón, Araxes, Dolores (the band of Pedro Ruy Blas) and Guadalquivir, among others. The keyboardinst and flute is the hyper-famous and top-seller in Spain Luis Cobos, who sold a lot doing disco covers of classical music. (Diego Herrera)..
