 Opinions and other informations:

    

Miguel Ríos is one of the most veteran and respected rockers in Spain. His trajectory is plenty of changes as a function of the fashion changes. This way, in the middle 70's he released two albums in the vein of the flamenco-progressive movement in which he felt comfortable due to his andalusian origin. Those were: "La Huerta Atómica", with important contributions of spanish progressive musicians, and "Al-andalus", with the spanish band Guadalquivir as accompanying band, that made the spanish tour of 1978 with him. The rest of his carreer is vast (much more than the items displayed here) but far from progressive rock before and afterwards. In his most comercial years, in the 80's his band included the Keyboardist Thijs van Leer from Focus. (Jose Manuel Iņesta)
