|
| Argentinean metal band formed in the late '80s. Rata Blanca started getting involved in the local scene while playing along with bands such as Alakran and Kamikaze. In 1988, the band released its first record. The following year, singer Saul Blanch left the group, being replaced by Adrian Barilari. At the same time, keyboardist Hugo Bistolfi joined in. In 1990, the album Magos De Espadas y Rosas was released. Rata Blanca's new songs were presented live while opening to Ian Gillan at Buenos Aires' Obras Sanitarias. In a special experience many other rock bands have went through, Rata Blanca performed along with a symphonic orchestra in October of 1992 at the local Opera Theatre. Two years later, the group moved to Spain, recording the following album called Entre El Cielo y El Infierno. In September of 1995, Rata Blanca had the opportunity to participate in Monsters of Rock at Sao Paulo, that year headlined by Ozzy Orbourne and Alice Cooper. In 1997, Gabriel Marian became the new singer, releasing Rata Blanca soon after. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide |
