I never really see much discussion on Argentinian prog on this site and I'd really like to change that. So I'm creating this thread with the hopes of getting more discourse going about one of the Americas' premiere prog countries. Feel free to discuss favourite artists, albums, songs, etc and to share recommendations, reviews and recent purchases.

Both "La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros" albums are pretty good. Also I listened to "Anabelas" by Bubu thanks to PA and it's really great. I'd recommend Serú Giran but it's not really prog.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

That Bubu one is great, I'm a Factor Burzaco fan as well, particularly the third one, bizarre quixotic twitchy. Cucamonga's debut is very good, quirky edgy fun avant. The other band I like is Karenautas who are a Chamber Rock band in the vein of Julverne & Aranis.

Great songs, these. I actually just listened to both Crucis albums for the first time a couple of days ago and absolutely fell in love with their debut, oddly enough. Usually people are quick to praise "Les Delirios Del Mariscal" but I thought the first album was much more succinct and energetic from first listen.

^ Both albums are great and while I favor the debut, I need to get into the second release a little more.
The main site rates the debut at 3.71 stars and Los Delirios at 4.11 stars.

^ Both albums are equally great I think but quite different, the second is much more loose and jammy and the first is more song based, so it depends on your mood at the moment.

I rate them both at 4 stars but I also prefer the debut. It's interesting because when I read my descriptions of both albums i'd normally go for the style of the second one but not in this case.

I get warm and fuzzy thinking about the time I spent searching for Prog from South America. Man I discovered so much amazing music from Argentina, Brazil, Chile etc.
Some of my early favs from Argentina were BAUER and FRAKTAL both somewhat RADIOHEAD-like but so enjoyable.
INVISIBLE and EL RELOJ(love their second album) are both very talented bands.
If your into Neo-Prog then RAEL is the ticket.
PABLO is beautiful and pastoral and quite GENESIS-like.
Lastly i'd mention HONDURAS LIBREGRUPO who i'm such a big fan of, they are here under Psychedelic and are really interesting and innovattive.

An obscure Argentine favourite of mine is Las Orejas Y La Lengua, some very chill avant prog with fusion, post rock, and ambient influences. Try their second album, Error.

Good thread! In Chile we appreciate very much the Argentine rock.
 
I'm more into the seventies stuff, especially Invisible, Pescado Rabioso, Crucis, La Máquina de hacer pájaros, Aquelarre, Banana, Color Humano, MIA, El Reloj, Vox Dei...
 
From the contemporary prog, I listen most to bands like Nexus, Amagrama, Bauer, Contraluz (prog folk), Under Linden, Atempo.

A great Argentinian album that I haven't been able to get enough of lately: the wonderful "Sudamerica o el Regresso a la Aurora" by Arco Iris, a fantastic jazzy prog double concept album with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.

Surprised no mention of Poseidotica.

Instrumental progressive rock - I have enjoyed both of their last 2 albums.
