CONCORDIA, ENTRE RIOS Argentina
Hi, my name is Marcelo Caputo, I was born in July 1973 in the city of Concordia, province of Entre Rios in Argentina. Since my first days I realized music was there to surround me… I begun studing piano and guitar when kid and back in 1987 I had my first on stage experience…
My first experience was with a band called “Subterraneo” (along with Tino Cruz, Ruben Rico, Daniel Kueider and the Alejandro and Hernan Tavella bros). It was a wonderful time, all was new and I had that mystic and passion someone has in the beginning.
Two years later we formed the group “N.N.” with the absence of two of the previous members. We begun experiencing rock sounds without a drummer as our music came out from an old yamaha organ.
With the change of decade, new bands… and the first jobs as a solist… later “Gin-Tonic” was born. A pure pop style band doing covers… the perfect place where I could experiment with my first own compositions.
In those years the group was growing up very rapidly in comparison with the slow rythm normal in small villages far away from the big cities. The daily tests, the never ending nights of beers, the tobacco…. you know…
In 1992 I had the opportunity to play with “Gin-Tonic” at the mitic (and sadly gone) “Paladium”, a great disco club where many argentinian bands were born… just to name a few: Sumo, Violadores, Soda Stereo…
I also has a great time at the huge “Teatro Alfil” also in Buenos Aires.
These events brought more and more ilusion to us and I was willing to go throu the roads the big ones one day took. We were the support band for great groups as “Los Pericos” a great argentinian band at the “Fiesta del Lago” (Lake Party) in the city of Federacion, Entre Rios.
All happened so quickly, our heart was bumping and I was wondering…”how the great ones did to get their goals?”
So life went on, life changed, and in 1993 “Gin-Tonic” was something nice to remember.
Later I tried with “It´s coming”… many shows and a great innovative idea for what was considered normal in those years… We did live shows in Teatro del Plata, Via Cerino, Remember Pub… all of them in the great Buenos Aires area. By then… a begun wondering about how some guys did music with a PC… Day after day I begun willing to comunicate musicaly that way…
Soon I discovered that my way was more into my digital productions than on stage, that my inspiration was not only musical… I also got inspiration from the street, from a river, a thunder or a simple nightly whisper.
In 1997 I decided to begun my solo carreer.
Later in 1998 I introduced “Rock in the moon”, an independent production with 8 tracks. It was at a local radio station in Santa Fe city.
Those tracks, made totaly by me, became the most requested in the area… also thanks to the collaboration of my great friend Carlos Centorrino aka Mr. Chento, perhaps the most important person in the Santa Fe “movida”.
Years passed but questions remained, though answers were found.
At the same time, all those years I´ve made many audio jobs, I produced many artists and of course, I kept my own music alive and kicking.
Actually, after experiencing the bands, I decided to believe even more in composition and production, just me with my stuff and rigs and not always on stages around.
Forever friends always in my mind as they are my deepest influence: Jeremias Gomez, Guillermo Zurdo
Burns, Jorybe Franco, Ricardo Brilla, Luis Rousserie, Tino Cruz and many more to come…
My greatest dream: That everybody get to know my job.
My thought: “The journey is a mix of talent, vision and technology.”
Thanks a bunch.
