Here's a nice, relaxed song: an unadorned delivery and a voice which works as a foil to lyrics that are on the point of getting too saccharin:-
Like Zarbaqal, who has sadly left us it seems, I'm putting up the Spanish and English lyrics:
Me gusta el Sol, Alicia y las palomas /I like the sun, Alicia, and the doves,
El buen cigarro y las malas señoras / A good cigar and bad ladies,
Saltar paredes y abrir las ventanas / Jumping walls, and opening windows,
Y cuando lloro, una mujer / And a woman when I cry
Me gusta el vino tanto como las flores / I like wine as much as flowers,
Y los conejos pero no los tractores / And rabbits, but not tractors,
Y el pan casero y la voz de Dolores / Homemade bread and the voice of D
Y el mar mojandome los pies / And the sea wetting my feet.
No soy de aquí ni soy de allá / I'm not from here nor am I from there,
No tengo edad ni porvenir / I don’t have an age or a future,
Y ser feliz es mi color de identidad / And being happy is my color of identity.
Me gusta estar tirado siempre en la arena / I like lying forever on the sand,
En mi matungo perseguir a Manuela / On my horse following Manuela,
Por todo el tiempo para ver las estrellas / Or all the time to watch the stars,
Con la María en el trigal / With Maria in the wheat field.
Jorge Cafrune has turned up a couple of times in a comment or list here, but I think this is the first time anyone has posted a song of his. To find out more, you can do what I'm doing, checking wikipedia:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Cafrune

Yes, he looks and sounds much older doesn't he? And not your typical rock-n-roll death: "run over while riding a horse" is a sudden and tragic way to die at just forty.
And thanks for the reminder about your neglected Mercedes Sosa thread.

yes, there's huge bunch of music in that thread, and of the ones you selected here, I'm particularly enjoying this one, with its retro guitar and organ sound:-

La Chicharata
... looking for Hank Marvin in the line up, but perhaps he wasn't there that day.

Maca Mona Mu is not a mega-star, perhaps that's why she hasn't been mentioned here yet. Here are the best tracks from her third "album", Kalanchoe. Album in quotation marks because it only has 7 tracks and may not have like an official physical edition for all I know:
To me, her earlier albums, Semillas and Bambu don't seem to have the same power as the songs I've put here. Their arrangements are simpler and the songwriting more subtle - well, who on earth wants sublety in music ?! Not me.
