Guillermo Blanco Alvarado's book chronicles the evolution of Memphis la Blusera from the 1970s to today. With 300 pages and contributions from musicians, friends, and family, it blends biographies, album reviews, and a chronological narrative covering concerts at venues like Gran Rex and Ópera, lineup changes, and crisis moments. The author offers an honest view of internal conflicts, legal battles, and losses that shaped the group, set against the backdrop of the 1970s military dictatorship. Key figures include Adrián Otero, Emilio Villanueva, the 'Ruso' Beiserman, and others linked to neighborhoods like Floresta, Paternal and Mataderos, which influenced the band's musical identity. This book provides a unique window into Argentine blues history and cultural resistance against censorship. It is available in bookstores and online. 'This book is an act of justice,' Blanco Alvarado declares.
