I have very little music from latin america, and I wanna change that.
What're some essential artists or albums from latin america?
I'm particularly in music from the Spanish speaking countries, as I'm wanting to start learning it.
What style gringo?
start with the entry level stuff

I'm really into folk music, musique concrete, electroacoustic and electronic music, but if there are any really good rock or classical music, then I'm all for checking that out too
Argentinian rock is probably the best
start from here:
Confesiones de Invierno-Sui Generis
Artaud-Pescado Rabioso
Aquelarre-Aquelarre
La Biblia-Vox Dei
Bocanada-Gustavo Cerati
all god-tier artists.

las ultimas composiciones de violeta parra (nueva cancion latinoamericana)
los jaivas - alturas de machu pichu (progressive rock/folk)

nothing wrong with liking them but they happen to be the most overrated band of mexico.
I mean, Re gets so much praise when it's just a collage of songs from the main mexican genres.
>>65894980
for the bands that are in the latin american mainstream bro is experimen
ok, whatever
cafe tacvba, a pop rock band
is good for you?
because for me it is
it worth your time
you won't laugh when you heard it
and if you don't like it
is okay, i won't laugh to you
just leave me alone
>>65895026
>Cuarteto De Nos
ugh
U R gay represent here, decent albums off the top of my head
>Opa - Goldenwings (jazz fusion, god tier and arguably the best album to come out of the country)
>Eduardo Mateo - Mateo solo bien se lame (kinda freak folk-ish, bossa nova influence, borderline outsider music, ahead of its time)
>Buenos Muchachos - Amanecer Búho (post-punk, pretty great)
>Hablan por la Espalda - Macumba (rock, latin percussion, candombe vibes)
>Alfredo Zitarrosa - Canta Zitarrosa (folk, nylon string guitar)
>>65895067
i'm chill with cafe tacvba, i like re, but it's fairly conventional music
>>65895275
Raro and Bipolar are pretty good albums with a lot of catchy songs.
>>65894364
Zurdok (México)
Os Mutantes (Brazil)
>>65894364
Colombia has an amazing Brutal Death Metal scene
>>65895657
He wants to learn the language so i think he wants to comprehend the lyrics at least.

Ana Tijoux - 1977
She's a French/Chilean MC and her music is surprisingly not too bad. Her album Vengo is also worth checking out.
>>65895026
>Cuarteto de Nos
fuck off
also that's not the patrician fabulosos album
>>65895026
seriously op, Cuarteto de Nos is Smash Mouth tier rock rap.
>>65895275
knows his uruguayan.
regarding Argentine music, here are some recs.
Charly Garcia - Clics Modernos / La grasa de las capitales / Piano Bar
Fito Paez - only listen to "El amor despues del amor" and MAYBE "La La La".
Juan Subira - Fisura Expuesta
Mercedes Sosa - If you are into folk/opera/great female voice, there's too much to listen to here. I rec "Cantora", "Serenata para la tierra de uno" y "Alta Fidelidad"
but if you are to listen just ONE album.
Vox Dei - La Biblia.
