Invisible represents the creative peak of Luis Alberto Spinetta's mid-70s output, bridging the gap between his heavy blues-rock beginnings and his later jazz-fusion explorations. Formed in 1973 after the dissolution of Pescado Rabioso, the band initially operated as a power trio with Pomo Lorenzo and Machi Rufino, focusing on complex structures and surrealist lyrics.
Their evolution is marked by three distinct phases: the raw, intricate rock of their debut; the conceptual, symphonic prog of 'Durazno Sangrando'; and the sophisticated fusion of 'El Jardín de los Presentes', which integrated the bandoneon-inflected spirit of Tango into a rock context. Critically, they are regarded as the pinnacle of 'Rock Nacional' for their ability to synthesize international progressive trends with a local, urban identity. Their influence is foundational in Latin American music, cited by generations of musicians for their harmonic sophistication and poetic depth. The band's legacy is defined by a refusal to stagnate, ending at their commercial height in 1976.
