I'm curious... what albums/concerts/interviews would you recommend to someone who wants to get into Pino Marrone? 👀 Also any fun facts about him?
- @junecast-moonfast (tagging myself so I get the notification on my main hehehe)
😭😭this ask really excited me, im avaliable any time to info dump about my favs, and i think is the first time i got asked about Pino here. thank you!!!
Well Pino doesnt really have a big discography, he only have two solo albums: Metropolis (1985) and Under the Influence (1999) which are jazz albums and the rest are collaboratons. And, of course, his early years in the argentine prog rock scene with the band Crucis (this is where he is more recognized from)
I really love Crucis and i always recommend them when i have the oportunity. I would say you should listen to them first! He was the guitarist and he already played like a beast at his 19. Crucis (1976) and Los Delirios del Mariscal (1977) (yeah me) are the only albums we got because they disbanded.. in their peak...
Even if they were kinda exploited and played a lot across the country, this the only video of a Crucis a concert and also the only live audio:
(The quality is really poor and has a annoying audio mark lmao)
Now for some collabs he played in other albums like a guest, my favs: Porsuigieco, Humanos (Pastoral), La La La (Spinetta-Paez) Homenaje (Gustavo Montesano). This last is from his Crucis mate and sounds really like the band since there are the four of them and others lol
In La La La he played in a live concert:
Well you have to know even if he was really popular in Crucis he then stayed out of the mainstream rock scene and went to have a chill career. He flight to the U.S in late 1977 and much more argentinian musicians did the same around these years due to either seek opportunities or the dictatorship exiles. He was very young but managed to gain the life (again, exploited) and study there but then late went back to argentina
Now more fun facts:
He composed a banger track for Los Delirios named "Pollo Frito" (Fried chicken) He also really loves pizza... food enjoyer
Pino plays with a lot of passion and cannot stay quiet. During a Crucis concert his glasses fell off and he stayed playing
Was a close neighbour of Charly Garcia
He dressed funny
He is so cute!!!!!!
And i might forget something but ill talk more ab him now! Ill asume you asked bc i tagged one of your post with the robert x pino thing lmao 😭yes i actually ship them...i have to be more open with my weird pairings
