Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre las Instituciones (Small Anecdotes about the Institutions) is the third album
of Argentine
progressive rock
group Sui Generis
, released on 1974.
When first released, the album wasn't as welcomed by the audience as its two predecessors had been. Though Folk rock in nature, it had an important inspiration in Progressive Rock, a genre that wasn't too well known and accepted by the majority of listeners. With the passage of time, it would inspire new generations of Argentine musicians and become a classic in its own right.
