My good friend Armando Molina celebrates his 50 year career in presenting his album Rock Kundalini, distributed by EMI Music and is now available in stores MixUp. Because
affection that I have, I am not qualified to perform an objective review of their album, I leave to the experts. Just say that I have a theory that their keyboardist (who is also musical director) is a being from another planet, very good type, the fact put him metals and flute gives it a rich flavor to the songs (reminisencias of Ritual Santana and Chicago).
Mucha gente ubica a Armando Molina como el Organizador del Festival de Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro, pero además es un excelente músico, toca el bajo, la guitarra, el piano y canta. También es compositor. Prefiero hacer una muy breve reseña de otras facetas de Armando:
- Formó un grupo llamado "La Máquina del Sonido" y su gran éxito fue la versión en español de la Rola In a Gadda da Vida.
- Además fue editor de las míticas revistas México Canta y Pop, referencia obligada en los 70's.
- Tiene inédito un libro sobre el festival, su título provisonal es: "Avándaro, everything that was said and not said."
- produced many records of Mexican rock group such as Ritual.
- has played with: The Shakes, The Sinners, The Monks, Mexiko 13, Dragon King, Los Hitters, Robert Jordan, The Blackshirts, The Jokers, Javier and "Baby" Batiz, Los Locos del Ritmo , etc.
- As a producer brought to Mexico with Eric Burdon, Wild Child (best cover band The Doors), Canned Heat.
- As TV producer worked alongside Alejandro Jodorowsky psicomago on "Happening to go go."
- met the priestess of fungi Maria Sabina.
- attended a Jimi Hendrix concert in Los Angeles California,
- interviewed some players of Team Brazil in the Azteca Stadium locker room when they won the final at the Estadio Azteca in 1970, yes, including Pele and knew the Jules Rimet!.
- also is an instructor in the Gnostic Institute of Anthropology.
- has a collection of vinyl and memorabilia quite respectable.
Today I think is very devalued the term "Group Rock "but Armando Molina and Sound Machine taking the microphone, their instruments and tell us: Music with Attitude made for the sake of rock!.
