SoloTronik – Málaga (Espagne)

Solo (Eduardo Vargas) studied classical music, and was a finalist in a competition on orchestration in 1980. In the same year he founded the theatrical group Harlekin, which competed against Dintel, Antonio Banderas’ theatrical group.
In 1982, Solo created his first electronic music group, Lokomotora Keromnés, and then in 1984 founded the electro-rock group Factoria RibbenTrop, which made television and radio appearances and received good reviews even from Banderas and Almodóvar. The group broke up in 1988.

In 1989, Solo learned Esperanto and began singing in Esperanto in his electronic avant-garde musical productions.
Solo has produced en impressive diskography en Esperanto, on vinyl, cassettes, and CDs. Here are the principle titles:
– Kosmo-Infano (Solo – vinyl, 1991)
– “Kie ne plu” (1 title on Vinilkosmo-Kompil’ Vol. 1, 1995)
– Vulkano (Solo – cassette, 1995)
– Polimorfia Arkiteknia (Vinilkosmo / “Kolekto 2000” – CD, 1999)
– Vulkano (SoloTronik - CD, 2001)
– Iniciadogalileo (SoloTronik – CD, 2001)
– “Ponfarstart’” and “Joko-Tronik”(2 titles sur Elektronika Kompilo, Vinilkosmo – CD, 2002)
Other than these albums, other works have also appeared on demo CDs, essentially instrumental and experimental electronic music. And even a demo album inspired by the Beatles, with music adapted to the 21st Century in Esperanto.

Today Solo has refounded the group Ribbentrop Faktorio, and has started on new projects: publishing songs on DVDs in MP3 format; videos directed by Toni Galvez; and a plurilingual project with Salva V., the bass player from Solo’s first group Keromnés, and Kopi, a professional singer. The profits on this project album will be used to support a humanitarian project for African children, through the World Esperanto Association.

Solo has performed in numerous concerts in many famous places, such as: the València Palace in Spain; the Gothenburg Congress Hall in Sweden; The Cavern in Liverpool, Great Britain; the Florence Congress Hall in Italiy; in Bordeaux, in Montpellier, in the Esperanto Culture and Art Festival in Toulouse, and in Strasburg, France; in the Kuopio Opera House in Finland; in the Esperanto Cultural Festival in Elsinore, Denmark; and so on.
