AQUELARRE (meaning witches nocturnal meeting with the devil) was formed after the dissolution of the band ALMENDRA in 1970, as its bass player Emilio del Güercio and drummer Rodolfo Garcia joined up with guitar player Héctor Stark and keyboard player Hugo González Neira joined up. They performed in B.A.Rock II festival 1971, and their first studio album "Aquelarre" was released in 1972. It's cover was drawn by the band's bass player, who became graphic designer later. Their music is sophisticated psychedelic rock'n'roll with very impressionistic moments, artistic arrangements, surrealistic themes and they have a jazzy rhythm section. During next years they released three more albums, "Candiles" in 1973, and it's cover is a painting of Goya, which name is the same as the bands name! Third and their most popular album "Brumas" was released in 1974. After this the band moved to Spain, and they released the album "Siesta" in 1975. After this they had a tour in Spain, but they didn't get the success they searched, and in 1977 they had their goodbye concert in Argentina without González Neira, who stayed in Spain. After their dissolution Rodolfo Garcia joined TANTOR, and Emilio del Güergcio went to have a solo career.
