From the magic land:
In spite of their brief career, Opus Alfa remains in the history of Uruguayan rock as one of the clearest exponents of an international sound. With a firm rhythm section (Barral-Graf) and the appropriate voice of Figueroa, the band was the ideal vehicle for the pyrotechnics of Bertolone in guitar and the blues riffs of Losada on keyboards.
A very effective hard rock, coloured with bluesy brushstrokes and a few pshychedelia, is Opus Alfa's language to express throughout their brief existence.
The rare first single "Casa de Huéspedes" is a good effort.
The superb album includes songs as "Calma de un día", "Blues de mi ciudad" and "Miel y humo" and is recommended.
After a highly publicized farewell, the band split to pave the way for Días de Blues and Figueroa's solo career. He recorded two disappointing –but now very rare– records for Sondor label –Jesús con todos in 1973 (Sondor 44004) and Mágica fuente in 1974.
