Argentine Music

Music is such an important part of Argentine society and this time of year with much of Argentina on Vacation and the "gente" of Good Air (Buenos Aires) traveling throughout the country (by any means possible) every town and city is holding some kind of music festival. The folky guitar and traditional music festivals are really good, great ballads and traditional songs ... but spare me the horrific Argentine Rock and or Drum festivals (bad, very bad, think Argentine Idol).

Here is a list of recommended artists from an Argentine music buff, some Argentine and some Spanish (haven't checked them out yet myself but told that they can be found on emule.com http://www.emule-project.net/):

Gustavo Santaolallia

Enrique Bunbury
Jouquin Sabina
Patricio Rey Y Sus Redonditos De Ricota
La Renga
Andres Calamaro
Ratones Paranoicos
Attaque 77
