 Opinions and other informations:

    

Born in 1975 from the reunion of two guitarists: Josep Maria Paris, that played for Maquina! and Miquel Farrero that were playing until 1982. They played jazz-rock with a mediterranean (Santanian) touch, with flamenco and bluesy flavours, with a great live performance.

In September 1978 they recorded live at Zeleste the LP En Concert. In 1979 they went to the studio both in Madrid and Barcelona to record Ocells, in which some musicians from Mirasol-Colores participated, getting the band's sound closer to latin rhythms, without loosing the band's original guitar touch.

In the 80 a single was recorded but it was not released, with the voice for the first time of Ia Clua (from Ia & Batiste), already oriented to pop-rock.
