Hi Heker! I was going to welcome you to MB, but I see that you joined us over a year ago. You are clearly keeping a pretty low profile! I listened to your Octafonic recommendations, and enjoyed "I'm sorry" most. Are you from Argentina yourself ? We've had a couple of guys from there, both of whom started their own threads:-
[Maybe this is an opportunity for a passing mod to practise his thread-merging skills?]
Anyway, heker, you have prompted me to check through some more of Argento's recs, so thanks for that. Since his Juana Molina clips, I think La Portuaria is the band I most liked because I love a bit of accordion. Here's a track by them with a video that confirms all my stereotypes about life in Argentina :-

I'm particularly puzzled by the meaning of this argie song, which I cannot understand:
The latest work from Frenkel that I remember is this one:
Thanks for showing us what's on the radio in Argentina;it's quite exotic for us as we don't have many members in the Southern Hemisphere.
I think these two were my favourites:

^ Haha! When we thought they were witches, we tied women to poles and burned them to death, but that doesn't happen so much today!
If you want to know about English culture through music, this might be a good place to start. It's about our affection for things that are disappearing in the modern world:

The Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways, for me and for you
What more can we do?
We are the Draught Beer Preservation Society
God save Mrs. Mopp and good old Mother Riley
We are the Custard Pie Appreciation Consortium
God save the George Cross, and all those who were awarded them
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
We are the Sherlock Holmes English-speaking Vernacular
God save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula
We are the Office Block Persecution Affinity
God save little shops, china cups, and virginity
We are the Skyscraper Condemnation Affiliates
God save Tudor houses, antique tables, and billiards
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways, for me and for you
What more can we do?
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties
We are the Village Green Preservation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
God save the Village Green!

I would say that English, British and Commonwealth realm music had ever been highly appreciated here. It is our north and our school, and something that needs to be preserved and cultivated.
