Interactive Poll # 6 - Latin America!

Ok,here it is.

EDIT: Have heard the Kronos Quartet and Astor Piazzolla now... stylistically that's too close to mine. I make this one out of competition and choose another one for the competition.

Here's what I wrote originally:

I love that theme, not so much because I have lots of music that fits (in fact I don't have that much), but rather because this is a theme where I think there's much potential to discover good things that I don't yet know. Unfortunately the selection up to now shows that a number of people know similar stuff as me... I had three ideas and they're all three already there, in one way or another, Astor Piazzolla, the wonderful Manhattan Transfer Brasil album, and Inti Illimani. I think I'll go with my first choice anyway, even though we then have Astor Piazzolla twice, but he is good enough for that, I'd say. Lorenzo, if you don't think that's appropriate, please tell me and I'll look for something else. Which won't be so easy still as I said my first three are already covered.

I give you two versions a) in case one doesn't work for you but b) because I always prefer live videos if they sound reasonably well, but here I'm really torn, as the live video sound is OK but still clearly inferior to the studio version.

So you only need to listen to one of course (and they are reasonably similar), but choose if you're rather up for seeing the band playing, or rather for having the somewhat better sound with a boring album cover video.

Hmmm. I had two things lined up for this in case somebody else would come up with my first idea... actually

Love the voice (and the accompaniment).  And thusly, more to ferret out!

And out of competition.  This is Athy, from Argentina, with Indigo Profundo, an original composition, which is certainly written with Latin American influence (Argentinian?).  Also fun to watch live, so perhaps the dearth of studio recordings on YT.
