Color Humano was a prominent Argentine rock ensemble active during the early 1970s.
History
After the dissolution of Almendra, several new bands formed, among them Color Humano. This trio launched their self-titled debut album, Color Humano, in 1972, following the Argentine rock custom of naming first records after the band.
The record presented a unified blend of acoustic melodies and more intense rock elements, though it lacked a definitive hit single. When David Lebón exited the group, Oscar Moro stepped in, bringing changes to their musical style. From March to June 1973, they produced enough tracks intended for a double album; however, due to commercial considerations, the material was split and released as two individual LPs under the Talent label. These releases showcased more intricate and diverse musical arrangements.
Both Color Humano II and Color Humano III achieved commercial success and included contributions from Raul Porchetto, who provided vocals. Nonetheless, their infrequent live appearances gradually diminished their audience engagement.
Their performance at the B.A. Rock Festival was captured in the Argentine rock film Rock hasta que se ponga el sol. The group disbanded in 1974, with members pursuing other endeavors such as Polifemo and La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros. A reunion took place two decades later, in 1995.
