We've had by now quite a bit of European lists so, I (and not only Grumpy) think it'll be good to continue our musical journey outside Europe, and to the opposite side of the globe, namely Latin America (South plus Middle America).
Beginning with my list, one album per band, and unranked:


Mutantes (BRA) - Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol (1974)

Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho (BRA) - Paêbirú (1975) 
Terreno Baldio (BRA) - Terreno Baldio (1976)
Bacamarte (BRA) - Depois Do Fim (1983)

Crucis (ARG) - Los Delirios del Mariscal (1976)

M.I.A. (ARG) - Cornonstipicum (1978)
Agnus (ARG) - Pinturas Y Expresiones (1980) 

Los Jaivas (Chile) - Alturas de Machu Pichu (1981)

Flor De Loto (Peru) - Flor De Loto (2005)  

Iconoclasta (MEX) - Reminiscencias (1985)


Ijahman (Jamaica) - Hail I Hymn (1978, maybe a kind of "Prog Reggae")

Cold & wet sunday morning in Brussels, with not that much to do, and I was busy rating albums in Gnosis 2000 anyways. Wink

I only barely managed doing only one album per band, clearly I must up my exposure to the sounds of the south (I still need to give Anabelas and Depois Do Fim a good listen)

1. Música D' Repuesto (Cuba) - aV abuC (1998)
2. Nicotina Es Primavera (Argentina) - Perder Planetas (2018)
3. Mediabanda (Chile) - Maquinarias (2021)
4. Satanique Samba Trio (Brazil) - Mais Bad (2019)
5. Beledo (Uruguay) - Escape (1985)
6. Greco Bastián (Mexico) - No Cover (2020)
7. Decibel (Mexico) - El Poeta Del Ruido (1980)
8. Rubén D'Hers (Venezuela) - Todo Está En Descanso (2004)
9. Sales De Baño (Argentina) - Geometría Del Vínculo (2019)
10. Finnegans Wake (Brazil [Belgium originally, but they emigrated so it maybe counts?]) - Blue (2008)

You're very quick here, as well Mirakaze, and a lot of new for me names, muchas gracias. Thumbs Up
I can recommend very much M.I.A.'s Cornonstipicum, too, if you're glad of Symphonic Prog.

I could choose 10 favourite Latin-American prog albums, but they'd all be by Santana. Embarrassed

LOL
I can't quite tell what I think about that, but I can tell as much that I've began to think about a regional list with another approach of my own than hitherto. That is thinking more about the stylistic kind and origin of the music than where the musicians live when the music is created.

Edit:
And I don't think I'll get upset, if you do so. Big smile

Aallriight, progardvaark, you seem to be one of those who are quite familiar with Latin American Prog, thank you very much to you, as well.
Could you maybe recommend something to me in line with my own list?
Edit:
Not least from a country, I don't have any albums from, yet - but it's not so important.
I can tell, I've heard many other albums than my favourites here, but I didn't like them well enough.

I don't know many (nod to Bubu - Anabelas in any case), but can list two that I haven't seen listed yet:
Un Festin Sagital - Epitafio a la Permanencia
Cabezas de Cera - Musica in Escala de Grises 

These three are not listed on PA, but prog enough for me:
Egberto Gismonti - Academia de Dancas
Thanataloop - violadorviolado & Mar Ebrio

Best album from Latin America for me (among my top 5 of all time):
Astor Piazzolla - Nueva Tango: Hora Zero

I don't know any bands from other Latin American countries, so I'm just going to mention Brazilian bands:

1. O Terço - Criaturas da Noite
2. Secos e Molhados - Debut. It's not fully prog, but it has elements of the genre.
3. Sagrado Coração da Terra - A Leste do Sol, Oeste da Lua
4. Bacamarte - Depois do Fim
5. Tempus Fugit - Tales from a Forgotten World
6. Quaterna Requiem - Velha Gravura
7. Mutantes - Tudo foi Feito pelo Sol

I'd like to tell here that what I'm fond of about listning to Prog from many different countries is that each country has somehow own specific musical characteristics, and I like very much the variety, it gives. I'm very fond of, as well, to enjoy music from different cultures, and I quite often think about how the specific musical characteristics may reflect some broader cultural ones.
