Following this album (Alas), Alex Zuker left ALAS and Pedro Aznar joined the group. Aznar actually would bring more instrumental versatility than Zucker had, which would prove useful for the second album, which was on track to be released in 1977. \rPinta Tu Aldea was unusual in two ways: halfway though the recording, dummer Carlos Riganti left the group, and Moretto and Aznar decided not to replace him. The result would be a very disjointed two halves on the same album. The second was that the record was not released until 1983 by EMI, to this day for unclear reasons. \rYet the album opener "A Quiénes Sino" is generally seen as the best ALAS track ever; the rest of the first half is an exquisite blend of tango-rock with jazz incursions. In the second half the band does not sound as tight or in control of the music.] Still Pinta Tu Aldea is consistently voted in opinion polls as one of the most essential recordings of Argentine rock in that period.
