Turf - Loco un poco

1. Argentine rock has, sadly, been largely eclipsed by cumbia and other vulgar imports since the '90s

Some highlights from the pre-cumbia era:

2. I heard the Turf song on a Netflix movie...

"Unlucky Sisters" playing in the background and had to find it and find out who it was. The song had that "something" that appealed to me. Very catchy tune, sounded like it may have come from the 60's or 70's era. I will explore some more Argentinian music. Thanks

3. You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

You'll be hard-pressed to find an Argentine who's not nostalgic - and with good reason.

"There was a beautiful time, and truly free..." (well, almost)

4. Great song...

Are you from there? I do not know much about Argentina except some music from Evita and a movie about what happened after her death.

But I try to stay informed as to the different currents and undercurrents down there. It really is a fascinating place.

Like something out of a time warp in some ways.

And with truly unusual economic problems that no one seems to be able to explain (no one agrees on the causes, certainly) - but with some of the same political problems we have here in the U.S., as far as elites using some loudmouth RW buffoon to basically have their way with everyone else.

A real Chucky doll, if you will.
