Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rata Blanca is a heavy/metal power metal band from Argentina. They were formed in the 1980's by the guitarist Walter Giardino...one of the best guitar players i've ever heard. Rata Blanca is one the most important and successfull power metal bands in Latin America... and they are one of my favorite bands. Their music is unique; the combination of the poweful voice of Adrian Barilari with Giardino's guitar is amazing!!! I like all their songs but "La Leyenda del Hada y el Mago" (The Legend of the Fairy and the Wizard" is unforgettable and also "Mujer Amante" (Woman Lover).

You can see the videos here:

The first part of the video is Giardino's solo...here you can see why I said he's one of the best guitar players....The other part of the video is Mago de Oz singing "Fiesta Pagana"...

Rata Blanca is GREAT!!!

I odnt like the band sweatdrop

I totally agree (c'mon... who wouldnt, when its adrian barilari singing to nightwish's members music?)

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Emppu. smile

Anyways, I love Rata Blanca, though I had not really heard them until some 3 or so months ago when I downloaded 3 of their albums, I had heard a couple songs which had truly impressed me, this guys' music is made of "win and sugar". My favorite album is definitely "Guerreros del Arcoiris", because of songs such as 'El hombre de hielo' and 'Angeles de Acero'. Though "Magos, Espadas y Rosas" is also a great album. 3nodding
