- Soda Stereo (Argentinian rock greats, a lot of 80's influence)
- Flor de Loto (Peruvian instrumental prog rock band with a mix of native sounds. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, one of my favourite bands)
Come on! you cannot compare Silvio Rodriguez (or any of those lame latin singer-songwriters) with THE Bob Dylan, seriously. Silvio Rodriguez/Pablo Milanés/Ismael Serrano/Joaquín Sabina et al are lousy lousy musicians, they may write OK lyrics, but their musicianship skills are non-existent if you ask me.
On the other hand I agree with your Soda Stereo recommendation. Furthermore I'd suggest to check out the lead singer's solo career, his name is Gustavo Cerati) and his solo albums are fantastic!
Anyway, good luck with finding good music sung in Spanish. Oh, while we're at it I recommend a Chilean band called Los Bunkers it is rock, but they are very good. And if you're interested in some Andes music mixed with rock, there are some cool bands like Inti Illimani, Los Jaivas (which was already mentioned) and Quilapallun.0 -

LOL couldn't agree more
I think most people here are going to go for rock music...it's hard to say something else...mainly because it sucks.
I would have to say that there is a HUGE band in Chile, they are "Los Tres"
If you want something else, not just rock...some mexican stuff would be Plastilina Mosh, Control Machete.
Some really cool mexican bands (good old rock) La Cuca, Real de 14, Tex-Tex, La Lupita, Maldita Vecindad, Botellita de Jerez.
For some folk-rock-jazz music Jaime López and Gerardo Enciso.
I think a great artist is Andres Calamaro from Argentina, also from Colombia Aterciopelados and the singer has a solo album Andrea Etcheverri.
From Spain, there is Juan Perro, former front man of a GREAT band Radio Futura. Some other interesting bands are Un pinguino en mi ascensor, Loquillo, Orquesta Mondragon, Daniel Higienic.
There, you should have fun trying to find music from this bands

Hi there! Hope you're doing great
Yes, it sucks big time if you ask me, but I was trying to be polite. But if we're being honest, Mana sucks way too much.tachepiranha wrote:I would have to say that there is a HUGE band in Chile, they are "Los Tres"

I know people tend to love Los Tres, I've never been able to get them. Actually, they get on my nerves, but it must be because they are sooo arrogant. I like Los Bunkers much better, these guys are from the same city as Los Tres. I enjoy Plastilina Mosh a lot, they are funny and witty!!0 -

Por acá de lo más bien. Debe ser la nostalgia de que ya pasó un año, pero justo nosotros también nos pusimos a ver las fotos de Praga y Berlín del año pasado y obvio nos acordamos de Uds. Síiiiiiiiii la pasamos bomba, yo amo ese concierto de Praga, escucho el boot a cada rato!
About Mana, they should definitely be drowned en El Muelle de San Blastachepiranha wrote:Did you know that Julieta Venegas was married to the lead singer? :eek:

Yep, I knew about Julieta's lapse of insanity :eek: I don't think much of her as a musician, but I'm glad she came to her senses and divorced Alvaro Henriquez, he's disgusting and increasingly similar to Jabba the Hutt0 -
anyone know any good places to get hold of some of this music??? like its taking a big chance to pay for if you knoow what I mean
never heard any argentinian or peruvian music before
have always found cafe tacuba a little disappointing, its the blending of the hip-hop that kinda fucks it up a lil for me.
is there any albums along the lines of Julieta Venegas' Bueninvento record?0 -

Hi there.
I totally get what you mean. I'm not extremely into downloading music, I'm old school (I'm 34), so I'm more into buying CD. Anyways you'll find tunes from the artists we've mentioned in Kazaa, Emule et al.
About Julieta Venegas I have no idea 'cause I don't like her much and I feel the same way about Cafe Tacuba, especially since their diminutive singer decided he was pretty much the second coming...
I trully recommend you to give Gustavo Cerati and Soda Stereo a chance. Regarding Soda Stereo, their best album (for me, of course) it's called Canción animal, also there's this semi-unplugged show they did for MTV that's great: Confort y música para volar.
About Cerati (former lead singer of Soda Stereo), he's got 4 solo albums, my favs are Bocanada and Ahí vamos.
Now, if you really want to experience like genuine Latin American music, I have to say, even if neither genre is my cup of tea, that our region's main contributions to music are son/salsa (old school) and bossanova. So, those looking for "world music" should look for Sonora Matancera, Ismael Rivera, Ruben Blades, Héctor Lavoe, Tito Puente, Cachao and Vinicius de Moraes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Joao Gilberto, Elis Regina...
Good luck,
Caterina0 -

Someone gave me a Caetano Veloso album(&gilberto gil) last year and some brazilian Tropicalismo mixes. they didnt totally grab me but were easy on the ear, portugese dont sound as nice as spanish or italian to me..........can understand some spanish but even if I didnt id still enjoy it,,,,like if eddie vedder sung in a totally alien language to me Id still love pearljam, it would only detract slightly not understanding the lyrics.
I will find soda stereo & cerati.....cheers0 -

i have to totaly agree with caifan82
Caifanes/Jaguares are awesome I fell in love with them about 8-9 years ago & can't stop listening to them they are my latin pearljam i see them everytime they come here in chicago.

Soda Stereo (great rock band from Argentina) and the solo albums from his lead singer Gustavo Cerati (some rock mixed with electro-sounds), Manu Chau's first cds but i'd rather recommend Mano Negra (former band, he traveled the earth and played along with musicians from all around the world). Also Lumumba (reggae band from Argentina, just great and underrated)...Fabulosos Cadillacs (mix rock, ska, reggae, salsa)..there are some other great bands but i'd recommend those for start. There's also a cool cd which mixes Rolling Stones songs with brazilian Bossanova (match ups). Enjoy0
