Thanks again. I recorded the clips. That is my humble city.

They were filmed on sunday, after the rain, so the roads were empty of people. It is a typical city of the Cuyo region, which is the central west of Argentina.

The Cuyo region is characterised by tree lined streets, mostly with the species Platanus. There is another Cuyo city shown on the first post, (Mendoza, between the pop genre videos).
Mendoza is a city made on a desert, but nobody would guess, because is densely populated with trees everywere. The municipality government has a register of each tree, with his health record. Every road has a water channel for irrigation.

No I never heard. I found a video on youtube from Fatur, and I liked it.
Thanks for telling.

There is an offical list of countries that should be posted there?

What is the difference between this Argentinian and British music?:

I think that in the last century, the best music was made on USA and Britain, despite that, like any country, those also made large ammounts of pretty ugly bad music.

Why I think of the music of a country, I think of the songs that I like more.

I would say that most are my favorites. But looking at the list, I see that I posted too many of Redonditos de Ricota, (that was unintended). So probably Redonditos is my prefered band.

I was going to say Milonga folk music is interesting, such as Jorge Cafrune.

There is this thread about music from Argentina. User Argento haven't posted since July 2012. Perhaps you would like to continue the work he started.

Hi Heker! I was going to welcome you to MB, but I see that you joined us over a year ago. You are clearly keeping a pretty low profile! I listened to your Octafonic recommendations, and enjoyed "I'm sorry" most. Are you from Argentina yourself ? We've had a couple of guys from there, both of whom started their own threads:-

This one has some interesting music in it: http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...argentina.html

This is a short thread with a long list of musicians: http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...argentina.html

[Maybe this is an opportunity for a passing mod to practise his thread-merging skills?]

Anyway, heker, you have prompted me to check through some more of Argento's recs, so thanks for that. Since his Juana Molina clips, I think La Portuaria is the band I most liked because I love a bit of accordion. Here's a track by them with a video that confirms all my stereotypes about life in Argentina :-

I only came to find some help on lyrics on English. Had no luck.

I'm particularly puzzled by the meaning of this argie song, which I cannot understand:





The latest work from Frenkel that I remember is this one:
