El Calefon's 1985 LP 'Salir Del Agujero' is a rare bird.

Self-produced and privately released in Zurich, the album documents one of the very few South American groups that were resident in Europe at the time, and certainly the only such band working in Switzerland. Co-founded by two Argentinians in Europe - the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Coqui Reca and the guitarist Pablo Miguez - the group consisted of Argentinian and Brazilian musicians, most of whom were in Europe as immigrants. Their music gathered it's primary influences from the varied sounds of their home countries, fusing these elements drawn from the manifold indigenous styles of Argentina and Brazil with the international sounds of rock, jazz, pop, and pan-Latin music. Honed and polished by the steady gigging through which the group earned their living in Zurich, the music that appeared on 'Salir Del Agujero' was sophisticated, original, and filled with light. Resonating with a freshness undiminished in forty years, the album brims with possibility and hums with tropical warmth, baring testament to the open-hearted musical freedoms of a mercurial musical era.
