Argentine Electronic Folklore

They are great. And live, they put on quite a show.
There is a whole genre of music like this, not identical, but similar in the blending of folk and techno-
Anything by Gaby Kerpel, or his wife, La Yegros, Soema Montenegro, Paloma Del Cerro, and lots more.

Here's one I like a lot- she is a riot, live.

Quite stunning, some kind of jazzy J. Joplin voice :eek:
 
Terraplen-
technologico folklorico-
featuring Gaby Kerpel and La Yegros.
I saw them on this tour, they were mesmerizing, switching from andean pipes to laptops to african percussion to electric guitar to charengo.
and both women singers were very good.

 
Replacing nouns with verbs, adjectives with nouns, etc. Quite original & sounds good.
 
Frenchie, I could be posting my favorite bands from Japan, or Finland, or South Africa, or Olympia Washington- but none of them are playing in Buenos Aires any time soon.

Tonolec, on the other hand, will be playing at CAFF on September 15th-

Sofia Viola plays in BsAs almost every month.

Or, this guy- Santiago Vazquez- you can see him every Monday Night at Konex.

Here is a girl I know, she is really good, a bit like a female Nick Drake in some ways- if Nick Drake sang like a very young sounding Portenå.

you can buy her autographed, handmade CD at Mercurio, the CD store in Patio Del Liceo that she is a part owner of. If you go on the right day, she will even sell it to you herself- each owner works one day a week.
2729 Santa Fe- a great building full of galleries, artists, clothing, crafts, a bookstore, a CD store, and you can even get your hair cut or buy a beer.
