Canal Magdalena

Canal Magdalena is a Chilean rock group formed in Viña del Mar, Chile in 1995. The band originally consisted of Cristián Arroyo (vocals and bass guitar), brothers Ygal and Max Glisser (guitars), Kamal Lues (drums) and Gonzalo Herrera (keyboards). They released their first EP "Espuma" in 1997, followed by their first album, "Teledirigido" (1998), featuring singles Yo soy el angel and Espuma. The second album "Canal Magdalena" released in 2001 incorporated new sounds and influences, mostly Italian ballads as shown with their cover of Franco Simone's "Tú siempre tú" (that was Max Glisser's final album with the band before leaving). In 2003 Kamal Lues and Ygal Glisser left the band. They continued recording their 3rd album along with a new line-up consisting in Ignacio Allende (drums), Daniel Pimentel (bass) and Juan Baeza (guitar). The result was "Aguamiel" (2004), their last record before an indefinite hiatus, until reappearing in 2008 to release their last album, "Manual Love".
