Comment:

A new friemd of mine from Argentina is training with our company for a few months. The only exposure I have had to Argentinian music is Astor Piazzolla's album with Gerry Mulligan and some Argentinian Ska I heard in a cab ride in Mexico City. When he heard that he gave me 6+ hours of MP3's. The tunes span Tangos, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Rockabilly. Folk and various combinations thereof. This mix is some of my favorites culled down to 80 minutes.
I am particolarly fond of the three artists that kick this off (and appear multiple times on it): Dividoes is very soulful singer/somgwriter stuff (it drives me nuts that I speak absolutely no Spanish, I'm dying to know what he's singing about!). Los Twist is described on Wikipedia as Rockabilly but they sound a little like Ian Dury to me. The cream of the crop is Bersuit Vergerabat. My friend tells me that the lyrics are extremely funny (you have to love a band that performs in Pajamas and claims to have escaped from a mental institution). The music is infectious and again I know I am only getting half the experience. Anyway. another musical world is opened up for me.

I do like the sound of a pyjama wearing band.

Always love to see the southern hemisphere getting some play. Yeah, I'm very curious about this stuff as well.

I too love to listen to things I don't understand, and in this case it looks like it would be a trip and a half. Any chance I could trade you something for this one????

This looks incredible. Not familiar with music from Argentina except for Juana Molina so I'm really in awe of what you created!

I'm a huge fan of music from the southern part of the Americas (and Mexico too). this looks like a terrific collection, though I've no idea what any of this actually sounds like. a cab ride in Mexico City sounds like the perfect way to learn about some great new music.

Bersuit Vergarabat are the kings man, though I would just call this "rock". íBievenido al mundo!
