History

GP3F was formed in late 2007, and it is composed by Anel Paz, renowned guitarist, recording engineer and producer; Brazilian Kiki Ferreira, Uruguayan Jorge Platero and Argentine Mayra Domine, Diego La Rosa and Cesar La Rosa. They have traveled several festival scenarios in Argentina: Pepsi Music ^[2] Editions 2008, 2009 and 2011 and Quilmes Rock 2013. In October 2008 they were the opening act of Brazilian Gilberto Gil at Teatro Gran Rex.

Simultaneously, the band released their first album "El General Paz & La Triple Frontera", edited by Popart Records / Sony Music and also the first version of its video broadcast cut, "A Marte", directed by Picky Talarico and produced by Metropolis Films.^[3]

In 2009 GP3F made a special live on CM, El Canal de la Música (Music Channel) and also produced and distributed the video "Carnavalero" directed by Rodrigo Espina.

GP3F with Diemen Noord created and produced the Primer Festival Itinerante de World Music (first Traveling World Music Festival), in January 2010. Both bands toured the Patagonia Argentina with the support of the Ministries of Culture of Chubut, Neuquen and Rio Negro, calling local artists from each participating city, with great adhesion and applause from the crowd and press.^[4]

Also in this year, they released the videos "Errar es Inhumano" and "Black Pato", both directed by Rodrigo Espina. In April 2011 the band opened Dominic Miller’s show in Argentina.^[5]

During 2013 GP3F premiered his video trilogy directed by Rodrigo Espina, in advance of his upcoming album. During the month of April they released "Alegría", in August "Luces de Cristal" and in November "Surferos del Alma (por el mar)." These videos were filmed on natural location, including Tigre, Argentina's coast and the coast of Brazil. In the clip "Surferos" there is a great reference of Brazilian surf: Capitão David, with his Surf School.

In December 2013, after two years of production of the new material, GP3F released "Maravillas", her second studio album, where the band reinforces his original style of fusing with its own identity, edited by Geiser Records / Sony Music.^[6]
