Enigma! - s/t 1972

Enigma! (and simply known as Enigma and previously as Las Ventanas) was formed in Mexico City in 1970. Originally by Pablo Gonzolez Cancer (voice/guitar),  Sergio Gonzalez "Aquario", (Vocal support/bass), Hector Zenil "Virgo" (support vocal/drums), and Carlo Gonzalez Escorpion (guitar)

Apparently considered one of the best and most prestigious Mexican Rock bands, they succeeded due to the 1972 album ''Enigma!"  and for the singles "Under the sign of Aquarius" which is currently considered a Mexican rock anthem and one of all time. the song was sang in Spanish and translated to English. "Save My Soul" and "The Call of the Woman" were to other of the groups big hits.

Rolling Stone considers "Enigma!" one of the 25 most important Spanish rock albums of the seventies.

The group continues to this day to to play in the greater Mexico /city area until after the last album "2001 DC" lp, now only playing for cult followers and private shows.
