Nito Mestre Y Los Desconocidos De Siempre

Immediately after the disolution of [a=Sui Generis (4)], [a=Nito Mestre], who still believed folk music had more to give, formed the band under the names of Nito Mestre y amigos ([i]Nito Mestre and friends[/i]) who would later evolve into Nito Mestre y los desconocidos de siempre ([i]Nito Mestre and always's Unknowns[/i]) thanks to a mention of [a=Maria Rosa Yorio], then [a=Charly Garcia]'s wife. The original formation included [a=Alfredo Toth] on bass gutiar and vocals, [a=Rodolfo Gorosito] on guitars, Nico Mestre on acoustic guitar and vocals, Rosa Yorio on vocals, [a=Francisco Pratti] on drums and [a=Leo Sujatovich] on keyboards. They debuted on 1977, at [i]Teatro Estrellas[/i] and proved that folk rock was still alive and popular. They toured all around the country and neighboring nations. By this time Sujatovich was replaced by [a=Osvaldo Caló], and they would release their first, self-named, LP with him. the immense popularity of it labeled them as the top folk band of the times and Nito as the best singer of the nation. The relationships between the group members wasn't as good though, and Caló would be replaced by [a=Alejandro Lerner] and later Eduardo Zvetelman. until finally stabilizing with [a=Ciro Fogliatta] on keyboards, and [a=Juan Carlos Fontana] replacing Pratti on drums. On 1978 they released their second LP, again self-named,. It wasn't as popular as the first because of the changes in formation and creative stagnation. On 1979 the released their third LP, [b]Saltaba Sobre Las numbes[/b] ([i]Jumped over the clouds[/i]) taking a closer approach to rock, though they were still unable to gain more public. On 1980, Toth and Yorio decided to leave the band, and it disbanded soon after. Nito Mestre would never enjoy the popularity he enjoyed on Sui Generis again. The band released three LP and one Single.
