Post Coup / New Coup - Argentinean Post Punk And New Wave 1983-89

Post Coup / New Coup represents an Argentine musical era sparked by the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, and the dawning of a democratic government. The music scene in Buenos Aires and neighboring cities was greatly affected by the political climate and sudden wave of influences from Europe and the US, that flooded the country almost overnight with the arrival of democracy. The artists included here, range from mainstream bands with top 10 hits, to obscure acts who only released their music on small cassette labels. The songs chosen for this mix don't necessarily reflect the most popular tracks of the time but creativity and the common thread of an extraordinary era unites them. - Ale
