Gusano mecánico
has become a coveted collector's item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide. It has been included in
5001 Record Collector Dreams
by
Hans Pokora
, receiving the highest rarity rating and hailed as a musical masterpiece. It was released in 1974 by the legendary Bolivian rock band
Climax
and was a big leap from their early recordings, where they paid tribute to their musical heroes. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.
Gusano mecánico
explores themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples. Founded in 1968 from the remnants of the disbanded
Los Black Byrds
and the unrealized project
The Turtles
, Climax was formed by guitarist
José "Pepe" Eguino
and bassist
Javier Saldías
, who developed a strong bond with drummer
Álvaro Córdova
, cemented by their shared passion for rock. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, spending several months in the United States during a crucial period straddling the end of the Summer of Love and the lead-up to Woodstock. This period, perhaps the most significant of the 1960s countercultural movement, saw an explosion of artistic expression driven by dissatisfaction with the society that the youth had inherited from their parents. Within this context, the influence of iconic bands such as
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
,
Cream
,
Blue Cheer
, and
Emerson
played a pivotal role in their decision to return to Bolivia and form the country's first 'power trio'. They quite literally brought psychedelic and prog rock to Bolivia by carrying new, experimental vinyl records in their luggage, at a time when rock music (and music in general) had very limited exposure due to the scarcity of media resources. Their musical project reflected their influences and laid down the first traces of what would later be called heavy rock, a genre that never achieved widespread popularity in Bolivia. Climax embarked on a prog rock journey, exploring themes such as the loss of personal essence and the vindication of indigenous peoples. Their rebellious discourse opposed the mechanization of humankind brought about by past decades of industrial exploitation in which they resist being absorbed by the system. It became a landmark of prog rock in Bolivia and one of the few conceptual albums produced in the country.
