Under The Name Of La Banda Del Capitán Corneta A Blues-Rock Quintet Was Born In The Ñuñoa District Of Santiago And After Five Years Reached The Category Of "cult Band" With An Intense Life In Musical Creation Electric Stridency And Disagreements Between Its Members .

The Twenty-Year-Old Brothers Pancho Rojas Singer Without Much Experience And Cristóbal Rojas Drummer Of The Group La Red Led By Vladimir Groppas Met The Guitarist Pedro Rodríguez Who Was Arriving From A Study Period In Germany. Since Young Age He Had Been A Jazz Player Playing Along With Heroes Who Went Back To The 1930s. But He Was Also Interested In Primitive Blues And Had A New Project Along These Lines. The Rojas Brothers Had A Similar Idea. Then They Joined The Bassist Eduardo "Lalo" Manzi To Begin As An Informal Garage-Jamming Band. Electrifying Guitars Very Soon The Musicians Had A Fundamental Realization. For The Ensemble To Achieve The Overwhelming Power They Had In Mind A Second Electric Guitar Was Needed. They Found At Their Local School Of Jazz A Player Named Roberto Lecaros. In The Winter Of 1991 Corneta As A Quintet Climbed The Stage Of La Batuta Theater To Jam Along Without Even Being Invited. The Fifth Element Was A Teenage Guitarist A Rough Diamond Named Mauricio Rodríguez. The 16-Year-Old Dazzled Even The Most Experienced Musicians Including Pedro Rodríguez Himself. La Batuta Not Only Saw Álvaro Henríquez That Night But Also The Band Would Meet Electric Bassist Juan Caballero. He Was A Musician Who Then Wandered The Bellavista Circuit Played In Some Tropical Music Bands And Frequented The Pop Stages He Was Linked To Joe Vasconcellos . The Famous Day Ended With A Blues Guitar Duel Between Henríquez And Pedro Rodríguez While Juan Caballero Demonstrated The Versatility And Swing On The Bass That Manzi's Position Would Soon Cost Him. By The End Of 1991 La Banda Del Capitán Corneta Was Constituted And With Plans To Place Itself Within The Sphere Of The Alternative Audience But The Name Of The Group Was Already An Incitement To Disband Double Phallic Sense And Insolent Irony To The Military Ranks. Inspired By The Beatles And Their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band These Chilean Musicians Did Not Wear Colorful Uniforms But Always Played With A Martial Shield As A Backdrop Where Instead Of Bayonets Two Ridiculous Cross Regiment Horns Were Presented As Weapons. In Its Second Year Of Action The Band Had Left Absolutely Anonymous. They Went From The Ninth-Rock Stages To The New Jazz With Ease Given The Origin Of Their Main Musicians. Pancho Rojas Was The Closest Thing To A Frontman Of Rock And Roll Wrote Consistent Lyrics Played The Harmonica And Generated Great Magnetism Among The Audience. Cristóbal Rojas Was The Strongest Vein And Established Himself As The Great Rock Drummer That He Later Became While The Pair Of Electric Guitars Came To Work As Well As The Jazz Trumpet And Saxophone Tandems. Among Them Rodriguez Always Was The Connection Of Looks And Groove Attached In Each Delivery. While One Practiced Incendiary Solos The Other Developed The Support With Real Knowledge Of Each Proposed Idea. If Something Differentiated La Banda Del Capitán Corneta From Other Pop Groupings It Was That These Musicians Improvised. And At A Great Level. But The Clash Of Personalities And Purposes Between Pancho Rojas And Pedro Rodríguez Began To Turn Into A Snowball. To This We Must Add Caballero's Permanent Discipline Problems Whom Had Already Been Removed From The Band. The Group Had Run Out Of One Of Its Best Elements. The Replacement On The Four Strings Was Nelson Arriagada Who Also Played For The Group La Red And Had Such A Discipline He Was A Classical Cellist That It Took Him Very Little To Become The Musical Director Barometer And Catalyst Of The Spirits Not Only Among The Two More Visible Heads Of The Whole But Between All Its Members. The Final Fall Rojas Liked Faith No More-Type Hard Rock And Was Very Attracted To The Figure Of Mike Patton While Rodriguez Was Still Tied To The Blues Roots And Didn't Listen To Much More Than Jimi Hendrix. The Performances Of The Cornetas Were Considered By An Open Call To The Pairing Of The Assistants. The Blues-Rock Days Could Be Musically Orgiastic From The Stage And Passed On To The Audience. A Stamp That Accompanied The Best Moments Of The Band. In 1993 Arriagada Left The Group To Begin A Long Residency In Germany And Later Become A Jazz Bassist. Then They Turned To Caballero As A Bass Player. Until The End Of Its Life The Quintet Kept Resisting The Break Despite The Clash Of Concept Between Rojas And Rodriguez. This Eventually Resulted In The Band Falling Out. The Talent Scouts Came To Offer Four Contracts To The Group And A Future Splendor. Finally They Signed With Alerce And Published Their Debut And Farewell Under The Title Of Perros Días 1994 . The Album Presentation Tour Did Not Even Finish Its First Stage. Tension Was On The Rise And Towards The End Of That Year It Was Unmanageable. Caballero Finally Left The Project And For The Release Of Perros Días The Cornetas Recruited Miguel Pérez Also A Bassist From La Red . Three Nights In A Row In La Piedra Feliz De Valparaíso And A Later Frustrated It Is Also Said To Be "boycotted" Show At Dawn In Ritoque In January 1995 Ended With The Aspirations Of One Of The Most Important Groups Of The Decade. The Brothers Pancho And Cristóbal Rojas Plus Miguel Pérez Went On To Form The Band Mandrácula. Pedro Rodríguez Went To New York To Study Jazz When He Came Back He Joined Bands Nexus Marx Trio And Los Titulares And Mauricio Rodríguez Continued As A Jazz Guitarist In Charge Of Almendra Trío. Twelve Years Later The Band Would Meet To Perform Two Spontaneous Concerts In The Two Recurring Spaces For Their Performances In Ñuñoa The Ñuñoa Jazz Club And La Batuta In Plaza Ñuñoa. La Banda Del Capitán Corneta Was Rearticulated In January 2007 With The Last Active Quintet And Brought Together A Not Less Contingent Of Fans Then Well Into Their Thirties. Their Gigs Continued Throughout The Year. But The Differences Between Some Of Its Founders Intensified Even In That Period Of Reactivation And Pedro Rodríguez Left The Group Definitively With His Next Move To The United States. The Rojas Brothers Included As A Collaborator The Guitarist Emilio García For A Quartet Format With Some Sporadic Presentations Which Concluded In 2012 With The Album Historias De Un Hijo Del Blues. read less
