Despite a standard line-up (keyboards, guitar-vocals, bass & drums-percussions), TANTRA played elaborated and beautifully

"Mistérios E Maravilhas" (1978) & "Holocausto" (1979) are two landmarks in Progressive rock, the latter being slightly influenced

new millenium goes for a trip on... Great songs, delicate lyrics and a superb guitar voyager. « hide |
