Vivencia

Vivencia acoustic rock band who gained popularity in the wake of the "Acusticazo" that sent Argentine acoustic rock to the top of the movement in 1972.

Vivencia was probably the least talented of the major groups of the period. Their studio LP was 1972's "Vida y Vida de Sebastián", an acoustic rock-opera which despite their good intentions was not a consistent work.

In their second full-length Vivencia shifted completely towards the acoustic rock style that was at its height in Argentina in 1973 (Sui Generis, Pastoral, Pedro y Pablo). "Mi Cuarto" with its similarly titled track turned into a hit for the band, and the song is now a classic of Acoustic rock. The rest of the album wasn't as strong, but nonetheless it would become an important acoustic record.

The duo could not capitalize on this success and would tend to repeat the exact same musical formula for their next album ("Sensitivo"), which took three years to be released. By then the landscape of Argentine rock was way past acoustic rock, and the album did not do well. The self-titled "Vivencia" came out in 1978 and is a slightly improved effort, but only a necessary release for die-hard acoustic rock fans, then and now. The band fizzled with their next release.
