Editor's note

Pappo, the blues-rock guitarist from Buenos Aires

A rough-edged guitarist who shaped Argentine rock with Pappo's Blues and solo work.

For a quick sense of his range, try 'Blues Del Perro' for the guitar grit and 'Juntos a La Par' for the ballad side. Both feel like Pappo in a couple minutes.

Pappo's Blues gave Argentine rock a raw, bluesy backbone that felt local and lived-in. Songs like 'Blues Del Perro' and 'Tomé Demasiado' show his gritty guitar style and direct vocal delivery, while 'Juntos a La Par' became a ballad people still know. He also worked with musicians like B.B. King and Lemmy Kilmister, bridging scenes without losing his own sound.

He started young, forming Los Saicos at 14 and helping launch Pappo's Blues in 1969. After going solo in 1974, he kept putting out albums under that name, from 'Volumen 3' in 1975 to later records like 'Blues Local' and 'Pappo's Blues Volumen 6: Buscando un Amor'.

Archive material and source history

Norberto 'Pappo' Napolitano was a guitarist from Buenos Aires who started playing young. He formed his first band, Los Saicos, when he was 14, and later helped start the blues-rock group Pappo's Blues in 1969. That band put out records like 'Pappo's Blues Volumen 1' in 1971 and 'Volumen 2' the next year.

He went solo in 1974 and kept releasing albums under the Pappo's Blues name, including 'Volumen 3' in 1975 and 'Volumen 4' in 1977. Songs like 'Blues Del Perro' and 'Tomé Demasiado' show his rough guitar style and direct vocal delivery. He also worked with other musicians, including B.B. King and Lemmy Kilmister.

In 1984, he released 'Juntos a La Par,' a ballad that became one of his best-known tracks. Later albums like 'Blues Local' and 'Pappo's Blues Volumen 6: Buscando un Amor' continued in a similar vein. He played with various musicians over time, including bassist Miguel 'Botafogo' Vilanova and drummer Black Amaya.
