"Gusano Mecanico" has become a coveted collector's item, highly valued by music lovers worldwide.
On October 7, 1974, the now-historic "Gusano mecanico" was released -- the only full-length album by the legendary Bolivian rock band Climax. Founded in 1968 from the remnants of the disbanded Los Black Byrds and the unrealized project The Turtles, Climax was formed by guitarist Jose "Pepe" Eguino and bassist Javier Saldias, who developed a strong bond with drummer Alvaro Cordova, cemented by their shared passion for rock.
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.
