Barrabás — Wild Safari 1972 (Spain, Latin Rock, Funk,Soul)

This Madrid-based band was formed by Los Brincos drummer and later successful producer Fernando Arbex. They began with Latin rock tinged with funk and jazz, but achieved their greatest commercial success after shifting their focus to disco. Arbex formed Barrabás in 1971 after the breakup of his previous band, Alacran. Together with Ignacio "Iñaki" Egaña, Alacran's bassist/vocalist, they assembled a new lineup and began recording their debut album, Wild Safari. The band was international: the new group included Filipino guitarists Ricky and Miguel Morales, Portuguese keyboardist Juan Vidal, and Cuban brass/percussionist Ernesto "Tito" Duarte. The album "Wild Safari," released in January 1972, yielded two hit singles, "Woman" and "Wild Safari," which charted in many European and American countries, including the United States and Canada.
