La Resistencia del Guarango
The Resistance of the Guarango
Songs by Alejandro Marambio, Abelardo Oquendo Heraud and Jose Piaggio
Guarango was the first band I made a professional recording with back in Lima. It was a great band, and I believe that if we had not been living in Lima in a time when resources were extremely limited, we would probably would have been much more successful. This recording is just an indication of what could have been much bigger and better. When I listen to it I immediately go back to those young years of my career and all those old feelings reawaken inside myself. It's just like it all had been yesterday.
Guarango is the name of a tree that thrives in the dessert, although the name of the tree is written with an "H" not a "G". It is the symbol of resilience and resistance. Of strength against adversity.
