Item description from seller

EL LIBRO OFICIAL DEL LEGENDARIO GRUPO, AMPLIADO Y ACTUALIZADO HASTA AYER MISMO. Si dijéramos que este es el mejor libro del mundo no estaríamos exagerando: estaríamos mintiendo. ¿Hay alguien que no conozca y ame a Les Luthiers? No lo creemos, pero por si acaso: Les Luthiers son un grupo humorístico argentino cuya obra gira en torno a la música o que, como afirman en su propio juego de palabras, «unen canto con humor». La genialidad de sus composiciones de todo tipo (desde rock hasta música de cámara -«de cámara lenta»-) se ve realzada por el hecho de que muchos de los instrumentos (informales) que utilizan han sido concebidos y construidos por ellos mismos (de ahí lo de luthiers). Algunas de sus mejores piezas lo son no solo por la composición en sí, sino además por sus legendarias presentaciones («Falta la primera hoja», «Las majas del Bergantín» o «Himnovaciones»), sus inolvidables personajes (don Rodrigo Díaz de Carreras, Warren Sánchez, el maestro Mangiacaprini, Oblongo N'gue o Daniel el seductor) y, en especial, el cuidado y el mimo con el que se trata la vida, la obra y el modo de componer, entre otros géneros compositivos, óperas (un verdadero modus operandi) del inmortal compositor Johann Sebastian Mastropiero.   Con cariño, admiración y mucha gracia, Daniel Samper y Álex Grijelmo cuentan una historia que conecta con millones de espectadores que han reído en español (y a veces en inglés). Recopilan un buen puñado de anécdotas y fotos, relatan la evolución del conjunto y revelan sus métodos de trabajo y los secretos de sus espectáculos por medio mundo. Por el camino recogen «muchas gracias de nada», rememoran sus momentos «más tropiero que nunca» y cubren su trayectoria hasta que por fin fueron «grandes-hitos».   Y esto es. ¿Todo? Todo esto es. ¿Qué es esto? Ah, sí: ¡esto es todo! ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE OFFICIAL BOOK ABOUT THE LEGENDARY BAND, EXPANDED AND UPDATED JUST YESTERDAY. If we said this was the best book in the world, we wouldn't be exaggerating: We'd be lying. Is there anyone who doesn't know and love Les Luthiers? We don't think so, but just in case: Les Luthiers are an Argentine musical comedy group known for their clever wordplay[AN1]  For decades, they have explored an astounding range of musical genres, from rock to chamber music, using original instruments of their own creation. In fact, this is what inspired their name: from the French "luthier," or instrument maker. Their best pieces stand out not only for the quality of their composition, but also their legendary performances ("Falta la primera hoja," "Las majas del Bergantín," "Himnovaciones"), unforgettable characters (don Rodrigo Díaz de Carreras, Warren Sánchez, the maestro Mangiacaprini, Oblongo N'gue, Daniel the seducer), and, especially, the meticulous care with which they approach life, work and the musical process, including operatic works by the fictional composer Johann Sebastian Mastropiero.   With affection, admiration and unfailing sense of humor, Daniel Samper and Álex Grijelmo tell a story that connects with the millions of listeners who have chuckled at Les Luthiers' inventions in Spanish (and sometimes English). Through anecdotes and photos, they trace the evolution of the band, its methods, and the secrets behind the shows that have kept audiences in stitches around the world for more than 50 years.…
