If you were in Uruguay in '71, you would have known along with everyone else that HOJAS was the best band for melodic rock--what we now might call power pop--and slow-burn rock ballads. This was the year of their hit singles, 'El mundo es una flor' (The World is a Flower) and 'Caminar en la lluvia'. With their supple guitars, dreamy pop/psych melodies and driving rhythm section, HOJAS rose to prominence quickly; and of course, it helped that most people agreed that the band's vocalist César "Cacho" Badin had one of the best voices they had ever heard singing rock music. +7 Bonus tracks: "Yo Solo Estoy", "Caminar En La Iluvia", "Sin Ti", "No Pierdas La Fé", "Cado Uno", "Imaginate En El Mundo", "Un Buen Dia".
