Thanks, it will give more exposure to these "forgotten" bands.
And though Mexico is not precisely a South American country, I would like to share with you this band named Cronomad, whose music offers a great blend of prog, psych and even some post rock. 

It would be awesome if some of you can listen to them, and why not, write a review.

Humberto Gessinger: song writing machine, multi-instrumentalist, singer and the mastermind behind Brazilian rock band Engenheiros do Hawaii (on a hiatus since 2008 i think).

In my humble opinion He's not a musician playing progressive rock, but a progressive artist pushing the boundaries of Southern Brazilian traditional music by mixing it with rock, jazz and even eletronic sounds and also the other way around by using traditional folk instruments (accordion, viola caipira, mandolin, etc) in all of his musical endeavors. 

As I said he doesn't write progressive music, but I can find progressive bits here and there throughout all his work (he started in 1985 and still keeps rocking).

I hope some people here take some time to discover this talented artist :)

Hermeto Pascoal is a BRILLIANT multi-instrumentalist virtuoso from Brazil who excels at every instrument he touches. He's an excellent flutist, pianist, guitarist, tuba player, percussionist, scat singer and whistler. Really, the man is a GENIUS and I hate the fact that he's only had 5 reviews on this site, mostly for his lesser work, Slaves Mass. His album Só Não Toca Quem Não Quer is an incredible showcase of this guy's creativity and sheer mastery of playing. 


Pig Soul is a RIO group from Brazil which has yet to be reviewed here in PA, and that surprises me. Listen to this track:


Arrigo Barnabé (also RIO) might have a couple of reviews here, but his best work, Tubarões Voadores (literally Flying Sharks), hasn't been reviewed on PA yet. The album features quirky dodecaphonic RIO tracks full of cheesy 80's synths and beautiful bossa-nova/MPB tinged pop-ish tunes backed by an orchestra, and the lead soprano wraps it up perfectly:


Baleia is an indie-pop/proggy post-rock group you all should check out if you're into that kind of stuff. I don't remember if they're on PA but they might be and I'm too tired to check if it's here.

i cleaned up my quote ... you didn't. And yours is actually not nice at all and because of it I will NOT bother reviewing the 2 bands I was looking forward to doing ... simply because your act is so full of sh*t.
 
I have, forever, talked about the Brazilian scene, way back to the 60's as being very progressive, even though the mix of "cancao, bossa nova and jazz" is not something that folks here in PA (specially) are capable of understanding, or even bother listening to. I've considered talking about Airto and Flora Purim, Milton Nascimiento, and others more in this place, but it is difficult, because folks here are so damn stuck on crap and a "style", that they have lost the ability to even bother listening to anything else.
 
I have never, found a band from South America (specially!!!) that I have not enjoyed ... but of course, you wouldn't know that and would not even read this far to be man enough to apologize! I will only review these things on my own time in my own place. PA doesn't deserve it when folks like you say things like that ... and perhaps you should look up the definition of the word cangaceiro ... before you say something to understand what I said!

Oh wow that did not warrant that much animosity.

Not at all helpful, but there is a list of all the unreviewed albums: www.progarchives.com/UnreviewedAlbums.asp ... it's a shame that asp query cannot be made into something more useful.
What?

Yea to get back to topic. I don't know many South American bands. I know there's a wealth of music to find down there, so I'm going to happily watch this thread and see what piques my interest! :)
