Man Ray
Dúo acústico que se forma en 1987, integrado por Hilda Lizarazu y Tito Losavio, con el acompañamiento de Laura Gómez (bajo) y Pablo Buratti (batería). La cara visible del grupo fue siempre Hilda, integrante de Los Twist y corista de Charly García.
El 27 de diciembre de 1988 se presentaron en el Festival de la Democracia, organizado en la avenida 9 de julio, en el cual se congregaron 150.000 personas para ver a Soda Stereo, Spinetta, Fito Pá
ez y Los Ratones Paranoicos, entre otros. Ese mismo año editaron el primer álbum ("Man Ray" ), producido por Andrés Calamaro, que casi no contó con difusión.El grupo entró en una especie de recesión, entre 1989 y 1991, provocada por los trabajos paralelos de Lizarazu (con García) y Losavio (guitarrista de Los Twist). Superada esta etapa, comenzó la gestación de la segunda placa. Solventado por un fan que ofreció el dinero, Man Ray grabó "Perro de playa" (1992) y salió a ofrecerlo a las discográficas sin demasiadas expectativas comerciales. A mitad de año fue relanzado con apoyo de la compañía y llegó a vender cerca de 30.000 copias antes de los seis meses. «El grupo se transformó en algo que podía dar plata y pudimo
s dejar las actividades paralelas», afirma Losavio. Años después, el tema "Todo cambia" (Hombre Rayo, 1994) se convirtió en un hit, al ser utilizado para la cortina musical de un programa adolescente, la novela “Montaña Rusa”En 1995 se suma Enrique Piccolini, quien co-produjo el cuarto álbum "Piropo". Para la ocasión fueron varios los artistas invitados: Jaime Roos, Miguel Zavaleta, Willy Crook y Federico Gil Solá. "El comisario Miguel" fue el primer corte radial. «"Piropo" tiene pop, reggae, murga, algo de rock y un poco de disco, pero paradójicamente no se encuentra nada de ello en estado puro.

In 1982, Tito Losavio (who has
been previously performing as a
freelance musician at ‘El
Papagayo’, brazilean night club,
located near the BsAs ‘Recoleta’
neighborhood in intersection of
Cordoba Ave./Anchorena St.),
formed ‘Biorsi’, a band with
tropical influences.
Although ‘Biorsi’ went through
different formations, the one in
1983 is remembered as the finest
of them all:
Tito Losavio (guitar, vocals),
Adrian Lobato (bass, vocals) - son
of choreographer Eber Lobato and
formerly a member of Ruben
Elena’s argie ‘Hair’ musical - ,
Guillermo Medin (Quistral, Final,
Berklee College of Music 1983
Composition Award, Klhasch)
(keyboards), Juan Manuel
Basavilbaso (percussion) and Pablo
Mendez (drums).
‘Biorsi’ rehearsal space was
precisely at 2452 Paraguay
St. (also near the BsAs ‘Recoleta’
neighborhood) and in the same
block and right opposite to artist
Omar Emir Yaban’s Einstein Cafe,
which at that time was the chosen
place for underground performing
arts. Other artists such as Luca
Prodan (Luca Prodan) and ‘Geniol’
rehearsed there. Although ‘Biorsi’
did some live performances and
played in the Spring’83 Monte
Hermoso Festival, Bahia Blanca
province, they never released their
material.
Simultaneously, ‘Biorsi’ musicians
Tito Losavio, Adrian Lobato and
Guillermo Medin were as well
playing as the support band of
female singer ‘Pinin Folgado’.
Probably is during this period
when Tito Losavio started
developing his compositional trend
of writing tailored songs for soloist
female singers.
Early 1984, keyboardist Guillermo
Medin was hired by mime ‘Olucaro
Ocimotana’ as musical director of
Theatre of The Invisible in Brazil
and since there weren't signs that
‘Biorzi’ would ever reach the pre-
production stage, departed to Rio
de Janeiro.
Some believe Tito Losavio/Hilda
Lizarazu (Hilda Lizarazu) earliest
musical affair started in 1985, in
the midst of ‘Biorsi’ disbandment.
Others instead say ‘Comida China’
(Comida China) was the real
springboard for Hilda Lizarazu’s
singer career, referring to the fact
that she joined this band by the
hand of her boyfriend singer
Miguel Zavaleta (Suéter).
Although is uncertain how did
exactly this cute couple first met,
by 1986 Hilda Lizarazu’s new boy
friend, Tito Losavio, became Man
Ray’s leader and composer at 2170
Humbolt St., the so called
‘Palermo Hollywood’ neighbor-
hood by Real Estate developers.
Undoubtly ManRay’s first album
has the compositional finger print
of Tito Losavio’s ductility for the
Pop/Rock genre: songs are catchy,
unsophisticated and straight
forward, resulting in an overall
well-shaped album, rounded off
with a latin flavour inherited from
his past musical experiences.
While mixing in Studios ION,
between April/May 1988, long time
fellow musician keyboardist
Guillermo Medin was invited to
participate in future ManRay`s
projects. Worked together at their
Humbolt St. place (aka ‘the
bottling district’ because beverage
companies bottled wine in the
surroundings), till Guillermo
Medin returned to Cambridge,
Massachusetts, where he migrated
in late 1979.
