Argentine rock, from the past and present?

Adrián Dargelos of Babasónicos joins Virus onstage to help them with a version of “Pronta Entrega.”

Perhaps you will prefer the version by Miranda! Ale Sergi is apparently a huge fan.

Luca Prodan and Sumo never got a mention here?

Also, the 8 episode Fito Paez miniseries on Netflix, Love After Music is something I might end up watching out of completeness but I have heard bad things about it and what I have looked at seems to be paint by numbers.

Still trying to figure out this Pappo guy.

Did watch several episodes of ROMPAN TODO (BREAK IT ALL) and learned a lot. Now wondering how many outside of Argentina are familiar with “El extraño de pelo largo.”

There are so many versions of it at this point.

People in Mexico know it from the version by Los Enanitos Verdes who, like Babasónicos, seem to be more popular there than in Argentina.

But came to say I am enjoying Charly Garcia’s Hello! MTV Unplugged. He had a really good band on that one.

I love the version of Los dinosaurios in the Unplugged!

Vilma Palma e Vampiros were a hit in Perú while I lived there.

babasonicos are a staple of MTV Latina – love Viva Satana

Yeah, “¡Viva Satana!” is great.

The Soda Stereo MTV Unlugged album, Comfort y música para volar is also good of course (although less unplugged than most, more reimagined) but it was the Brazilian acts who really went to town with that format, as fpsa can tell you.

Re the OP’s comment about punk bands, the only one I really know is the first one, Los Violadores, who were pretty good.

Their big hit was “1, 2 Ultraviolento,” which was based on “A Clockwork Orange.” The lyrics are even a mixture of Spanish and Nadsat as represented in the Spanish translation of the book (or film?). The song even starts with the old Ludwig van.

Heh, guessed that some tourists were Argentine today and talked to them for a few, confirming just how popular Rock nacional really is.

The whole family knew all about various musical figures, major and minor and furthermore, while they were in NYC they made a pilgrimage to the spot where Charly Garcia posed for the cover of Clics Modernos. They told me the relevant graffiti is no longer present but there is a commemorative plaque to mark the historic wall.
