Taura is an Argentinian rock band founded in 2000. Its members are Santiago García Ferro, Gabriel "Chaimon" Raimondo, Leonardo Della Bitta and Alejo García Guraieb.
Taura was formed in 2000 in Buenos Aires after guitar player Santiago García Ferro called Gabriel "Chaimon" Raimondo -former singer of pioneer hardcore act Vrede - to join him in a new project. In that moment the band was completed with Guillermo Houdin on bass and Alfredo Felitte on drums. When Houdin left the band a few months later, Lars Rosenberg- former bass player of Swedish bands Entombed, Therion and Serpent- joined Taura.
After several live performances, in which opening for American rock act Queens of the Stone Age stands out, Rosenberg and Felitte left the band. From that moment on Leonardo Della Bitta on bass and Alejo García Guraieb on drums completed the current lineup. A few months later, Taura released in 2002 its self-titled three-track Ep.
