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.

I just got around to checking these guys out and I've got to say, Veronica G is a pretty good track. Do you know anywhere where I could find the whole album to listen to online?

I have many of these ( 70s ) lps mentioned on orig. vinyl. The trouble with South American vinyl is that it is very difficult to get decent copy.
I know a Chilean-born Canadian who goes to the homeland regularly and he always takes at least a suitcase of records. He says the reason the vinyl is beat (at least in Chile) is that there is much passing-along/ borrowing of lps going on. They make much physical use of their vinyl.
Not to do with this thread, but I would recommend to instrumental keys lovers, the various cds by Chilean, Jaime Rosas. The early ones like Virgo are more symphonic-orchestral-sound keys ,whereas the newer one, Flashback is heavier on the Hammond.
During the Argentinian economic collapse of two (three?) decades past, folk were desperate and $200-300 rarity records were going dead cheap.

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:

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.

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

^ 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?

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.

^ 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!

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!

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

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?
