Viejas Raices band biographyViejas Raices band biographyViejas Raíces was an influential 1970s South American jazz-fusion trio led by the prominent Argentinian jazz bassist, composer, and arranger Jorge López Ruiz. The group is celebrated for its avant-garde fusion of deep jazz with Afro-Uruguayan candombe rhythms, yielding a sound that has become a highly sought-after holy grail among world jazz collectors. The Core Lineup: The trio consisted of leader Jorge López Ruiz on contrabass, his life-long friend Carlos "Pocho" Lapouble on drums, and the highly gifted Chilean pianist Matías Pizarro. Musical Evolution: The project was created as a vehicle for López Ruiz to break away from traditional jazz structures. Because of his extensive background in composing movie scores, the music carries a distinctively heavy, pensive, and cinematic atmosphere. Historical Context: Their landmark work was recorded in Argentina in 1976, directly during the onset of the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional—the darkest and bloodiest period of the country's military dictatorship. This environment of brutal political censorship and violence cast a stark shadow over the arts.
