Notes

Fidel Vázquez Sanglas was born near Barcelona, Spain. At the age of 10 he started to learn guitar and got a Almira 12-string guitar, this was a difficult instrument to play. When he was 15 he changed a herited bandoneon for an imitation Stratocaster electric guitar and bought a small amplifier. He visited a musical school and took lessons from professor Sebastia Garriga. Fidel played in several acoustic formations. The CD "Croma" was his first project with UNOMA. The five songs on the album "Croma" (from 2003) were created between 1997 and 2001 and his sound was then influenced by KING CRIMSON, DREAM THEATER, RUSH, PINK FLOYD, GENESIS en YES and the guitarists JOHN PETRUCCI, STEVE VAI, ALEX LIFESON, ALLAN HOLDSWORTH, JEFF BECK, JIMI HENDRIX, ROBERT FRIPP and ADRIAN BELEW.

After three years of almost exclusive dedication to the symphonic rock band NEGUA (www.negua.com), the death of his father motivated Fidel to retake the project with UNOMA. This time, he decided to focus his next work on more energetic and contemporary sounds influenced by current bands such as TOOL, OPETH, THE MARS VOLTA or PAIN OF SALVATION, but never forgetting the classic progressive and rock touch (KING CRIMSON, PINK FLOYD, GENESIS, LED ZEPPELIN, etc.). The result is "The beginning of the end", an album composed by 9 songs of a high emotional content and a big maturity, visceral, direct and forceful, a mixture of lack of control, nostalgia, melancholy, passion, anxiety, farewells, drugs and losses, mental perturbation ... and in the end, a scream, a demand of emotive independence, of hope for a quiet future free of all this absurdity.

Fidel Vázquez has surrounded himself with the talent of great musicians and producers of the Spanish and international scene to carry out this project. Aurora Ferrer (composition, arrangements, vocals), Juanjo Verdú (guitar production, now also official guitarist of UNOMA), Pito Costa (voices production), Ángel Lloberas (drums), David Casamitjana (drums technician), Josema Uròs (vocals in Corrupt song), Emilio Alquézar (voices technician), Jordi Solé (guitars technician at Musiclan), Ricard Vives (bass) or Chey Sun Hill (vocals in An expensive illusion) among others collaborate in it.
"The beginning of the end" has been recorded at Musiclan (Figueres) by Jordi Solé and at RadioStar Studios (Weed, California, USA) by Sylvia Massy and Kale Colmes (REM, RHCHP, TOOL, SKUNK ANANSIE.), who also mixed and produced the album with Fidel Vázquez. The recording has been mastered at MasterPlant Studios (Sausalito, EEUU) by John Cuniberti (JOE SATRIANI, SANTANA, METALLICA, DEFTONES.).

After "The beginning of the end", UNOMA has turned from a one-man project into a stable band with future sights.
