Almendra was a pioneering Argentine rock band formed in 1967 in Buenos Aires by Luis Alberto Spinetta (guitar and vocals), Edelmiro Molinari (guitar and vocals), Emilio del Guercio (bass and vocals), and Rodolfo García (drums and vocals). Their innovative fusion of psychedelic rock, folk, and art rock, showcased in their seminal albums "Almendra" (1969) and "Almendra II" (1970), revolutionized the Argentine music scene. The band's poetic lyrics and experimental sound, influenced by The Beatles and local folk traditions, left an indelible mark on Latin American rock. Their iconic song "Muchacha (Ojos de papel)" remains a classic, reflecting their enduring legacy. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almendra_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
