- Zeldar (Argentina)
I love this band. I love the simple music and the lyrics. The singer is no Pavarotti, but he's very passionate.

More '80s hard rock. They were invited to a tv show for children... Ah, those were the good days... I really wish they would make more children's shows with amazing guests... It's a freaking playback, but still better than nothing! Oh and I miss the vinyls!

- V8. First Argentine heavy metal band.
It kind of sucks, but it's a classic band. In fact, it sucks to the point where it's funny, at least for me. Oh and some of their lyrics complained about hippies, which is something I very much appreciate.
Hit song from their first album (1983): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI4NFvGqZns
Fuck you hippies!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENc40SGKJ3E

- Hermética
This was an EXTREMELY popular heavy metal band in Argentina during the early '90s. The singer rules. He has a very original voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPTTHIXYmQ
Yes, this is the same singer with his natural voice doing Argentine folklore (the spoken part is done by the bass player): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tudMS8wAj4

When Hermética was disbanded, its former leader created this band. He's a fucking fascist, ultra-right-wing nationalist.
