Litto Nebbia, Huinca - Huinca / Despertemos En América (Reissue) (1972/2002)

Leader of Los Gatos, Pioneer Argentine Rock Band, Felix Francisco Nebbia Corbacho, commonly known as Litto, was born in Rosario on July 21 1948 and he had his first hit with "La balsa" a single from 1967 which sold more than 200.000 copies, composed together with Tanguito.
Due to " musical differences" and, mainly, he did not know which were the next steps to take, Litto left Los Gatos in '69 and, from then onwards, he had a long solo career. With more than 100 albums released so far and much collaboration in other artists’ records, he is by far the most prolific musician of Argentina. In 1983, for example, he released 5 albums. "I practically don’t select the material, I let the public do so", he would admit later on.
" Better instrumentalist than singer, better at melodies than writing", defined by Eduardo Berti. His first album, "Litto Nebbia" (1969), came out at the same time of the movie "El extrano de pelo largo" directed by Julio Porter, where many of his songs appear in such film. Before that he had recorded the single "Rosemary" / "Lo que te hace falta es amor".
In 1971 he broke the division between rock and folklore, when he played "chacareras" accompanied by his percussionist Domingo Cura. That year he formed la Nebbia's Band, whit which he recorded an LP.
His next group was Huinca, together with Oscar Moro, Cacho Lafalce and Gabriel Ranelli. In 1973 he started to like jazz, with the Litto Nebbia Trio. During the military dictatorship he lived in Mexico, where he wrote his most famous song, "Solo se trata de vivir". In 1982 he joined Los Musicos del Centro, whit whom he made two records.
In May 1983 he participated in El Rosariazo in Obras, a show that gathered Juan Carlos Baglietto, Silvina Garre, Fito Paez and Jorge Fandermole, among others.
In 1986 he released his 50th LP: "Demasiadas maneras de no saber nada", recorded in the RCA studios. He was accompanied by Manolo Yanes (synthesizers and machines), Cesar Franov (bas), Norberto Minichilo (drums), Cacho Tehera (percussion), Fats Fernandez (trumpet), Bernardo Baraj (sax), Ricardo Lew (guitar and arrangements), Lalo de los Santos (bass and backing vocals) y Alejandro del Prado (backing vocals).
Owner of his own record company "Melopea" he released more than 200 albums of national music, unreleased material of Cobian and Cadicamo, Goyeneche live, the Cuchi Leguizamon... music that was not so commercial for the big companies. «For me, it is not a business. If I do it well I will make some profit, which will let me do other things, that’s all. I am not a patron and I don’t make big profits either».
A clear example was the record "Nebbia canta Cadicamo" (1995), a compilation of previously unreleased tangos that Enrique Cadicamo had composed and Litto rescued from forgetfulness. Among them, "Nada me debes", "Carne y una" and "Sea breve". The material was presented at Teatro General San Martin before almost 900 people.
"Paginas de vida" is the name of a CD-ROM (second of the national rock, after Los Siete Delfines) through which there is access to all de Nebbia’s biography and the story of his groups.
