“Viento Rojo is a CD to be savored like an elegant meal in a faded old hotel; the CD to play when it's too hot to move, the air is rippling in the heat, and the sun seems like it's stuck up in the sky forever.”

“Just as in the US and UK, men in Latin America tended to dominate early rock. One of the few exceptions was Gabriela Parodi, who fronted her own band in Argentina, where she released her galvanizing debut in 1972. Gabriela’s agile voice proved adaptable to rousing rockers and elegant ballads. Working in her native Argentina and later in the US, Gabriela has maintained a varied career that paved the way for important women in Latin rock, including Andrea Echeverri of Aterciopelados."
