Abrete Gandul [Chile] for Eclectic Fusion or Jazz Related Rock Discography: 2000 - ¿Bichos=Dichos? 2005 - Cuentos Para Dormir 2011 - Enjambre Sismico 2018 - Referencias Circulares Abrete Gandul biography: Ábrete Gandul is a Chilean band which was conceived in 1999 as a initiative of guitarist and singer Mauricio Dell (a.k.a. Dr. Octava). Having written several compositions, Mauricio talked with an old drummer friend, Antonio Arcea, with whom he had common ideas, and they decided to form a band. Bass player Pablo Garcia joined them along the road and with this "Trio" they made a studio record, which is based on Dr. Octava`s compositions five compositions. After this recording session, Rodrigo Maccioni joined, and added the band an acoustic guitar and a transversal flute. Pablo Garcia was also replaced by Rodrigo Garcia. This was actually the first Abrete Gandul`s line up. They started to perform in local pubs and other places on Santiago de Chile. Besides their repertoire, they used to make lots of improvisations which helped the band to gain some respect and create a particular style of music. In December 2000 their first album "¿ Bichos = Dichos?, was released, and it shows the variety of styles they play; rock, jazz, folk and even pop, always searching for experimental sound. The album has a couple of instrumental improvisations on it as well, in addition to some complete songs. In late 2002, due to elusive motives, Dr. Octava and Rodrigo Garcia left the band. Despite the big change, the band continued with the name of Abrete Gandul, but without a doubt with a very different focus; bassist Pedro Santander joined the band, and in the middle of 2003 guitarist Rodrigo Pinto and keyboardist Jaime Acuña were integrated into the band, which by now was without vocals, but always with an experimental sound. With this 5 member line up, Abrete Gandul has developed a new repertoire which has been performed during 2004 in several locations around Chile. As years went by, the band was lest with one less guitarist (the one who didn't play flute as well), but ÁBRETE GANDUL went on and ultimately released their thrid studio effort "Enjambre Sísmico" in mid 2011. The band's sound remained solid despite the sightly deminished number of its members. PS. New albom this SUPER!!!
