NUEVO MEXICO - Hecho en casa ( 1975 Prog Folk • Mexico)Full Album

Nuevo Mexico biography Considered one of Mexico's first progressive groups, NUEVO MEXICO was formed in 1973 when an earlier band named ABRAHAM LINCOLN changed its name and added the eventually highly influential flautist Jorge Reyes. In 1975 they released their first album in 1975. Its emphasis on earlier psych and heavy instrumental workouts might have made it seem dated to some audiences, but in Mexico it was rather unique, and the playing pushed the boundaries of improvisation without clearly broaching them. The superb flute crossed stylistic lines from Tull-influenced to classical to early Latin American folk. Unfortunately, by the time of the band's next and, essentially, final release, they were virtually unrecognizable, and Reyes was either absent or minimally involved, having formed AL UNIVERSO in 1976 and later the better known prog group CHAC MOOL at the end of the 1970s, both of which consolidated and buoyed his reputation. He enjoyed a lengthy and prolific solo and collaborative career as world renowned artist until his sudden death in 2009. In the meantime, Carlos Matta carried on for a few more albums dubbed as CARLOS MATTA and NUEVO MEXICO that are generally not included in NUEVO MEXICO discographies. The debut album of this obscure band remains a significant historic document and a worthy hard progressive folk opus in its own right. Studio Album, released in 1975 1. Dreams (Sueños) (2:59) 2.
