Came across this on facebook a few weeks ago:

Though it was very cool to see what local listeners thought of these bands back when they were in their prime. Apparently Crucis stole the show that year, probably riding off of the success of their 1976 album Los Delirios Del Mariscal - best band, best live act, best guitarist, best bassist, second best drummer, and third best keyboardist.

What delightful news:

Argentinian prog legend Bubu, of Anabelas fame, is back! 


Composer Daniel Andreoli has seemingly assembled a group of some of the finest young Argentine musicians to create some new prog music in the vein of the band's original 70's output. Daniel Andreoli, who composed all of the music on Anabelas, is assuming the same role, as well as playing bass. He is joined by four new musicians:
  • Guitar: Federico Silva
  • Violin: Alvar Llusa Damiani
  • Tenor Saxophone: Juan Ignacio Varela
  • Drums: Julian Bachmanovsky
Under this new lineup, Bubu is set to release a new EP, Resplandor, later this year, which will feature the quintet above as well as guest musicians Anibal Dominguez (flute) and Pablo Murgier (keyboards). So far all that has been posted as far as music is a short teaser of the band rehearsing material that will presumably be included on the new EP.



Anyone interested in following what I believe to be the best darn thing that's happened to this whole genre since the original Bubu album came out should check out the group's facebook and soundcloud pages.

Absolutely ! Greg Walker is a nice guy and the service is excellent. You have to write to him to ask for your orders and give your address. That's all ...

Does anybody know anywhere where I'd be able to find 70's Argentine prog releases at reasonable prices? It seems that a lot of albums I'm looking for (mostly those by Arco Iris) are either unavailable or at exorbitant prices (>$50 for a CD) on amazon.

Are there any online sources that specialize in this area of music?

Hey, I didn't expect to find a thread about Argentine prog here :) 

Pez is probably one of the best, but not all of their albums are prog influenced since they change their style a lot, the fusion era (Folklore/ Convivencia Sagrada) and their 2007 and 2011 albums are their most progressive as far as I remember (Los Orfebres and Volviendo A Las Cavernas)

They have played with with some of the bands mentioned above, and had some of their members as guests on live shows

All their albums are free to download from their site

Why not add Almendra and Pescado Rabioso (both with L. A. Spinetta) to the "prog related" category? I'm pretty sure many people would like these bands!

Thank you very much, those all sound like the kinds of music I'd like. I definitely have some new listening to do on the weekend!

Dias is completely crazy heavy rock.

Pablo Entrador  is absolute prog masterpiece. You really don't know this one?

Pacheo is prog instrumental. Very good.  I have a trade copy.

Spinetta Jade I think you know. Spinetta is one of my fav vocalists. What I love about all these Argentine vocalists is ...NO f**kING MELODRAMATICS.

Sui Generis - also classic. The one pictured s their best.


Lebon - that's his most progressive lp.


Montesano "homenaji"   - its been a while, can't recall.

^ I've heard Pinta Tu Aldea by Alas and Aquelarre's self-titled album but can't say I recognize any of the others and I'm quite intrigued. Could you give us their titles/describe their styles?

^ Very nice album. One of my favourite South American symphonic releases. In fact, I just put it on!

I used to dislike what we argentineans call national rock. I barely liked some classic rock or metal bands such as La Renga or Divididos. When I discovered Crucis though, I couldn't believe so much skill and taste could come from my country. In all honesty I find Crucis' albums to be far superior to anything Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf, Asia, or Camel put out. Not because they're argentinean I couldn't care less about nationality, their music is just astonishing.

It's good to see there's a growing Prog scene in Argentina nowadays too.

Rare & EXPENSIVE stuff from 1976. Excellent Thumbs Up

Ah yes, Sintesis. I've listened to their album a couple of times online and enjoyed it quite a bit. Some pretty good fusion work on this album. Interestingly enough, it features Sergio Polizzi, the violinist from Bubu. But would I ever pay 250 euros for less than 30 minutes of music? No way!

For any curious (and rich) potential buyers:
