15 Legends of Argentine Rock

Charly Garcia

Clarin, Argentina’s top-selling newspaper, has begun selling a collection of CDs and books about “Argentina’s 15 greatest rockers.” Every two weeks, between now and June, Clarin will sell a 20-song compilation CD and 144-page book that examines the music and history of each musician or band.

For those want to understand Argentine rock, this is a great way to get started.

My next post on local music will include a list of excellent independent bands, groups whose CDs you won’t find in Musimundo or other stores but whose music you ought to know.

The 15 greatest legends of Argentine rock, according to Clarin, are:
