Spanish prog rock with flamenco sitar. Formed by the sitar / guitar player Gualberto in 1967 the band Smash recorded at the beginning of the seventies two classic rarities of psych / prog rock for Philips label ("Glorieta de los Lotos" in 1970 and "We Come To Smash This Time" in 1971). The early death of the vocalist Julio Matito will mark the end of the band's adventure. In itself, Smash's music has similarities with the Moody blues and Vanilla. Fudge's psychedelic mood. The flamenco touch is evident, applying on traditional "palos" (tarantos.) thanks to Manuel Molina guitar style. In parallel the leader Gualberto has recorded a few progressive albums with Ricardo Mino, mixing Hindu music to conventional Spanish flamenco guitar works. His only greatest hit wine with the song "El garrotin," a song made about the flamenco of the same name with letters in castilian and english, where the fusion of Jimi Hendrix's rock with flamenco song makes it a virtually unmatched that it would like to get to say that these days do fusion with flamenco.
