== Trajectory == === 1968–1969: Formation === The band grew out of the mythic "La Cueva" club. Martínez was a regular, and Gabis played guitar with several bands, including Miguel Abuelo's Los Abuelos. Gabis was not keen on joining a band regularly as he was committed to college, but eventually was persuaded by Martínez, and Manal was born.
