Looking For Argentine Bands Recommendations

[pr1970]

Thought it was about time I paid some attention to the local music scene as apart from Abel Pinto and Diego Torres which my Spanish teacher keeps recommending i listen too but I hate with a passion, I dont have a clue about Argentine bands, can anyone give some suggestions more to my taste?

To give you a rough idea of the general mainstream music i like (i actually prefer house, trance,etc) but bands i listen too are:
Kasabian
Oasis
Coldplay
Keane
Kings of Leon
Stereophonics

So any suggestions of any Argentine bands?

Thanks

That seems to be what's popular now in the easy-listening "band" category.

Les Mentettes - They sing in English, so if you're looking for Spanish vocals you'll have to look elsewhere.

Bahia Inutil - Chilean group

Mi amigo Invencible - indie rock. check out the compilation 2007-2011 in the middle of the page

Chris Schweizer - trance dj

Juana Molina - female vocalist, established

Charly Garcia - Maybe translate Promesas Sobre el Bidet for your prof
https://www.youtube....h?v=P-x184UJGBM

Babasonics - rock, you can probably find videos with subtitles as they've been around. bonus - their videos are ridiculous (Tormento, Deshoras). Not my thing but ok for homework

Fun to translate - song about Argentina by Mirah - parts in English and Spanish

Gato Barbieri - jazz sax

Here is a more traditional smattering of Argentine rock - Fito Paez, Patricio Rey y sus redonditos, Bersuit, Enanitos Verdes, Caputechu Mechu, Divididos, Los Piojos, Los Autenticos Decadentes, Vicentico

Soda Stereo (80s/90s) and then the independent work of Gustavo Ceruti

el mato un policia motorizado ....name sounds like it will be raging punk, but isnt.

Thanks . Really want something in Spanish to help with my spanish. Also anything with accordions , maracas, tango related or kumbia/cumbia? is a no goer with me i`m afraid. Trumpets are bearable in moderation. So thats probably 80% of Latin music not to my taste haha

Been through all the links but so far i`ve only discovered these by accident.

La Vela Puerca - but Uruguyan not Argentine.
Jennsa - Sigo Buscandote

Any other ideas?
