Almendra (band) - Aftermath

Aftermath

Almendra’s split produced bands Aquelarre, Color Humano, and Pescado Rabioso.

Years later, on 7 and 8 December 1979, Almendra reunited to play live at the Obras Sanitarias Stadium in Buenos Aires. These highly successful shows led to a big tour including various cities of Argentina and Uruguay. A 2-set live album -Almendra en Obras (Almendra ML 712 & 713) -, and a studio album of new material -El valle interior (Almendra ML 135) - were also released, this time on their own independent label.

Some interesting compilations are 1972’s Almendra (series Rock Progresivo) (RCA Vik LZ-1227) and 1977’s Muchacha, ojos de papel (RCA AVS-4765). Both include singles. A rare 4-song EP with PS (RCA Vik 3ZE-3704) also exists. Also, a now-impossible-to-get book titled Almendra, featuring poems and drawings was published in 1970. All records were re-issued on CD. [Note: CD Cronología 1 includes the first RCA album plus all the singles and CD Cronología 2 -now out of print- includes all the songs of the second album in chronological recording order, except the songs released as singles (since they are already included on Cronología 1). This way, these 2 CDs features the Complete Almendra recordings on RCA. Also, the double RCA second album was later released as a 2-CD set with its complete original running order.

BMG released a 4-CD Box with all their studio recordings.
