While Argentina and Chile have been busy (Why no Sergio Alvarez yet on PA?) , the Brazilian symph sector has been quiet , still waiting for that darn Tempus Fugit album, as well as a new Aether, Quaterna Requiem, Eclipse, Index etc... Frankly I think Holland has been very busy with a slew of great bands and releases (Trion, Odyssice, Flamborough Head, Knight Area, Mangrove, Triangle, Novox, Lady Lake, Like Wendy, Ice & Nice Beaver). France has also been doing well with Taal, Nemo, Xang, Maldoror, Seven Reizh, Aside Beside, Silver Lining and Skeem. The Vikings are still quite active including Norway with the splendid Kvazar and Gazpacho. Poland with Riverside, Satellite and Believe are smoking. Hey , there is no more monopoly, "the world is my oyster " (B.Ferry)Clap
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

^ love the Magritte, Proglodita   ..L-A could easily get my vote for current prog leader, though perhaps not in a cutting-edge way as with Russia, Japan or the U.S., but many quality bands new and old and a great leader of Prog

Amagrama was one of the albums I brought from Argentina in my travel last january, and it's the only one I haven't heard yet. Why? I take my time, and by now I'm enjoying William Gray with Living Fossils.
 
But it comes...

While I don't claim to be an expert in this topic by any means and while I am shockingly lacking in knowledge about many of the bands mentioned here, I can't help but mention that Amagrama's first album is a worthy addition to any prog collection, no matter what geographical area in which you live.

Nice surprise to find this thread again...
 
Just mention that this year will be Flor de Loto the South American band present in the Cresendo Festival in France. If last year was Octopus from Chile, now it's time for peruvian prog!

Agreed - Guillermo Smile

I would like to recommend argentinian band HONDURAS LIBREGRUPO with a psychedelic/krautrock attitude reflecting their first album - which is provided for download on their website btw.

Their recent album is more canterbury oriented I guess (waiting for a copy) ...

A bump for this useful thread, people, lately there have been several Latin American bands added, which mean that the progressive rock momevent from these countries is spreading more and more, there are plenty of bands to listen and discover, i have been lucky to see some of them in concert, and believe me that the quality of their music is excellent.

I would like to resurrect this thread, in order to support these bands and discuss about their music as they deserve.

I'm not in Prog Metal at first but this is an impressing band indeed - SACRUM is just added to PA and I know some songs because of the submission process ...

BTW - welcome to the forum - mike.erss Smile
