Magia Nera – Montecristo (2020)
Hay obras que subvierten el tiempo. El tiempo y sus modas, fases y conveniencias que nos vemos obligados a seguir para encajar, para sentirnos parte de grupos sociales. Y cuando vemos a individuos desinteresados, a los marginados que defienden, a toda costa, la verdad de su música, y cuando hay un grupo que se adhiere a la idea, se asegura de que nunca pase de moda, dado que las modas conllevan imposición, y el arte, cuando está bien construido y es revolucionario, no tiene edad, no sucumbe al tiempo, a su cronología; al contrario, se renueva cada día, impactando la vida de quienes lo consumen, de quienes se identifican con su expresión.

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
