1979 – MELINGO’S ‘RING CLUB’ PRECEDINGS:
‘Theatre of The Invisible of Buenos Aires’
‘Theatre of The Invisible of Buenos Aires’
laboratory in
the ‘Ring Club’ group, then shouldn’t be
wrong
saying that his previous participation in ‘Theatre
of The Invisible
of Buenos Aires’ was his preliminary
technical
project.
Constitutes
a common misconception the assumption
Brazil in
1980, immediately joined Miguel Abuelo’s
(Miguel Abuelo) band ‘Los Abuelos De la Nada ’ by
playing
sax, clarinet and doing vocals, and it is as well
uncertain
that he did participate in 1981 debut singles
"Guindilla ardiente" and "Mundos in
mundos".
Early 1979
Daniel Melingo travelled to the city Ouro
Preto, a
municipium of the state of Minas Gerais, in
Brazil,
where he met mime Olucaro Ocimotana who
had
previously gained a significant success in the Sao
Paulo
Bienal Arts Foundation with his unipersonal
spectacle
‘Magical Theatre: A mankind history in the
planet’.
Daniel Melingo was so impressed by the
structure
of musicalized theatrical sketches that he
joined
playing clarinet to Juan Aguilar (acoustic guitar)
and chilean
Esteban (surname to be confirmed) (device
operations).
By September
1979, mime Olucaro Ocimotana’s
spectacle
had evolved into a multimedia experience
touring,
under the name of ‘Theatre of The Invisible of
Buenos
Aires’, several brazilean cities including Sao
Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. These unique
shows, a
combination of mime-music-dance & poetry,
marks
Daniel Melingo’s first participation in a musical
theatre
project. The performance in the city of Sabarà,
around 23 km East from the neighbor
state of Belo
Horizonte,
counted with the collaboration of Guillermo
Medin in
charge of video tape recordings.
In June
1984 ‘Theatre of The Invisible of Buenos Aires’
gave their
last performance before departing to Europe,
at FUNARJ’s Sala Cecilia Meirelles in Rio de Janeiro:
Olucaro Ocimotana (Producer, General Director, mime),
Mariangela
Mascaretti (mime partner), Guillermo Medin
keyboards),
Luciano Bahia (keyboards), Josè Simian
(electric
guitars), Jorge Varela (electric bass), Toni Aguiar
(wind
instruments), Claudia Samanta (vocals); but by then
Daniel
Melingo already had left the ensemble presumably
to play
with Milton Nascimento.
In 1980
upon returning to Buenos Aires, Daniel Melingo
formed his
own group called ‘Ring Club’ and the material
consisted
of musicalized theatrical sketches which kept a
similar
structure learned from mime Olucaro Ocimotana’s
‘Theatre of
The Invisible’. The second set of shows named
‘Juicio oral al Dr.Moreau’ featured Miguel Abuelo (vocals,
percussion), Gustavo
Bazterrica (Gustavo Bazterrica)
(electric guitar), Juan del Barrio (Juan Del Barrio)
(keyboards),
Miguel Zavaleta (vocals, keyboards) and
guest artists: ‘Los Hermanos Clavel’ and ’Las BayBiscuits’.

show:
Although there
aren`t soundtracks of Daniel Melingo
playing his
soprano clarinet in the Sabarà show, it is said
that the
event was caught on Single-8 film (Japanese Fuji
Film counterpart
of the worldwide renown Kodak Super-8
format).
Nevertheless, there are rehearsal recordings of
‘Theatre of
The Invisible of Buenos Aires’ that might still
be found
around.
