Interview with Alejandro Valladares, ex - singer and bassist of The Flintstones

Alejandro Valladares is a Chilean artist who leads in the body, a career over 40 years playing the music you love: rock 'n' roll and the beat. Its beginnings date back to 1965, when hand in hand with The Flintstones, played at venues such as the Empire Theatre and the Theatre Caupolicán.

"To me I thought the name was The Flintstones and by" monkeys "of television. I decided it sounded strange compared to all the names in English, they had other Chilean bands, "he said. In 1966, Valladares met Scottie Scott, former artistic director Vivarte Seal, who told him "You are like the Beatles Chilenos!. So, okay, I'll give them a topic which I translated and is of The Dave Clark Five called "Glad All Over." Then, Valladares said, "I was so Scottie version under the title of" Very Satisfied. "

Similarly, recorded with The Flintstones several Long Plays (33 1 / 3 rpm) as "Malon A Go-Go "(1967) or" Exciting! "(1967), as well as several albums (45 rpm). Their second single, "Darling", he achieved great success and was the first piece of music that the late composer, Scott, wrote for them. "The song," Darling ", was recorded and performed better, if compared with the previous album because he was always designed in a Play for Long Sand Seal Camilo Fernandez. I remember we spent a lot of time working "Darling" Scottie's house because we had great voices and it was pretty good, "said Valladares.

Also, this player does not forget the fact that this song would be the first recorded in Spain, using an electric guitar, but under the effect of "distorting": "The recording of" Darling "is important because we were the first in Chile to use a "distorted" for a recording. We had many contacts with many "gringos" who came to our country and we buy, one of them, this "blurring" that connect to the amplifier and then to the guitar, as used today in the form pedal "he said.

On the other lado, este músico recuerda las giras que su ex–banda realizó por dentro, así como fuera del país: “Con los Picapiedras tocamos en Perú y también en Bariloche, antes de 1968. No olvido que en el Perú nos entrevistaron en radios y también en televisión. Sin embargo, no sé si algunos de nosotros tenga algún registro de esos diarios”, declaró.

Finalmente, Valladares, en la actualidad, está tocando en un trío de rock que lo integra, además, el maestro, Lautaro Lobos, ex–guitarrista de Los Cariñositos (grupo musical que acompañaba los programas televisivos de Julio Videla) y que, por cierto, a pesar de presentarse en locales night, yet has no name. However, there is something you worry, since his current musical band vibrates to the public that follows. Newspaper
