Color Humano

The dissolution of Almendra yielded three new outfits. Luis Alberto Spinetta traveled to France and returned with a soloist LP and the intention to start Pescado Rabioso, Emilio Del Guercio and Rodolfo Garcia stayed together and began Aquelarre. Lastly, Edelmiro Molinari would form Color Humano ("Human Colour").

This power trio was a solid rock group, which would in 1972 release their debut album Color Humano, following the Argentine rock etiquette of naming the first studio release after the band.
The record is one of those unusual works that do not feature a hit song, but where the entire set of tracks as a whole become a thoroughly enjoyable listen, a mixture of acoustic rock songs and slightly harder edge ones. David Lebón would leave and be replaced by Oscar Moro.
This change would shift the group's sound to a more progressive aspect. Between March and June 1973, Color Humano recorded enough songs for a double album. Due to business decisions the album was released as two separate LPs on the newly created Talent label, the LPs were again named as Color Humano, and would be known as Color Humano II and Color Humano III respectively. The new set of songs were richer and more elaborate, spanning different rhythms and styles.
The albums would sell well, and included a special participation of Raul Porchetto in several tracks, even as a singer. Yet the band did not do many live performances, which would begin to erode their popular following.
Color Humano's performance at the B.A. Rock Festival would be featured in the movie-documentary on Argentine rock "Rock hasta que se ponga el sol" ("Rock until the sun goes down"). The band would disband in 1974, with members going on to groups such as Polifemo and La Máquina De Hacer Pájaros. They would celebrate a 20 year reunion in 1995.

Color Humano would have one last reunion in 2009 when Spinetta gathered all the bands borne of Almendra's separation in his legendary concert Spinetta y las Bandas Eternas ("Spinetta and the Eternal Bands")
