The Spanish Progressive Rock Encyclopedia

Pepe Bordallo (bass, acoustic guitar and vocals), Lorenzo Cuasante (keybopards and vocals), Fernando Llorca (drums, percussion and trumpet) and Rubén Péz (electric and acoustic guitars) + Alfonso Correia (percussion and recorder).

They were a trio first: guitar, bass and drums. They recorded a demo sounding like a hard rock band, but those recordins had and original and exotic touch, but they lacked harmony and the metrics was a bit chaotic, very bizarre for rock musicians, but a touch of originality for their music. I worked hard with them arranging that sketch of music with my keyboards. 2 months of rehearshal were an exciting experience of working on a project where anything seemed to be possible. At that time there were no support at all for bands like that in a place like Vigo. The label Ruada thought that they played modern celtic music. Not too far from reality since that was one of the sensitivities in the band. So they tried to make something with them but it didn't worked. Too much complexity. But Ruada released the record, that received more good reviews than sales. After the summer of 1980 the band dissolved due to money problems. (Lorenzo González)

Was in 1980 when I went to one of those concerts that Lorenzo mentions. It was very long due to the enthusiasm showed by the audience. Rubén Pez was great on guitar. Outeiro moved comfortably among jazz-rock sounds, being a galician kind of Iceberg or Pegasus. It was a pity so they lasted only one LP. In their record, cover like Romatic Warrior de Return To Forever or Arc en Ciel by Iceberg could be found. It is a true gem for collectors. It would be great news to see it released again on CD. No one should miss this great contribution to spanish jazz-rock. Javier (Ourense)
