Color Humano is a cornerstone of 'Rock Nacional' (Argentine rock), formed in 1971 by guitarist Edelmiro Molinari following the breakup of the seminal band Almendra. The group functioned as a high-caliber power trio, featuring at various times legendary figures like Rinaldo Rafanelli, David Lebón, and Oscar Moro.
Their sound identity is defined by a fusion of heavy psychedelic rock, blues-based improvisation, and progressive structures, all unified by Molinari's distinctive, fluid guitar style and philosophical lyricism. Historically, they represent the transition from the beat-pop of the late 60s to the more complex, experimental rock of the 70s. Despite a relatively short initial run and a limited discography, their influence on the Spanish-speaking rock world is immense, particularly in how they integrated jazz-like rhythmic flexibility into a rock framework. Critical consensus views them as one of the most sophisticated acts of their era, praised for their 'human' touch and refusal to succumb to the colder, more mechanical tropes of European progressive rock. Their 1995 reunion and subsequent live album solidified their legacy for a new generation of listeners.
