History
The Idea becomes reality in 1965, Saul Cornejo guitar and vocals, Manuel Cornejo in drums and Eddy Zarauz a childhood friend on the bass Eddy made his own bass, the one he used in all the recordings and tv presentations. The Cornejo brothers had been experimenting with music since they were kids and their favorite composers were Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Gershwin, Ray Charles, Bobby Darin Leiber and Stroller. In 1962 they used to listen to Stevie wonder and the 4 seasons and little Stevie with his fabulous fingertips, And when the Beatles appeared they decided to form a band. They needed one more member and they found Alberto Miller who had similar musical taste and finally Alex Abad joined playing percussion instruments. The New Juggler Sound was the name they picked based on the British invasion. At that time their main influences were The Beatles, The Zombies, The Searchers, The Animals, The Kinks, and The Yardbirds. They wrote more than 100 songs in three years. During that time the band appeared in TV shows, concerts in schools, theatres, Happenings and art galleries. In 1968 they recorded a 45rpm record for RCA Victor: Baby baby/I must go and also that same year they recorded two songs in Spanish Sonrisa de Crystal and Mil Millas de Amor.At the end of 1968 Alberto Miller leaves the band . The music was going through a change in the world and so did The New Juggler Sound And their change was going to be a radical one.
And later they would also change their name to LAGHONIA it means the Agony but they added an H in the middle la agonia means the agony in Spanish. It was strange because the cicle of music was coming to and end with the inminent breakup of the Beatles. Their musical horizons were broadening and now they were looking for a guitar player that could be a part of the band’s new ideas. Eddy found him and he came for an audition. David Levene was a typical lead guitar player he was a combination of Blues and psycodelia Just what the Cornejo brothers wanted to give the band new dynamics. Something like The Jimmy Hendrix Experience,Cream,Vainilla fudge,Spirit,Blues Image witch by the way were bands that the North American Levene liked very much.
