Argies

In the organizer's words:

Admission 20:00

Start 21:30

Since their formation in 1984, the Argies have distinguished themselves through their libertarian poetry, the power of their music and the clarity and coherence of their political stance. Although their roots can be found in British punk of the seventies, their music today shows influences of ska, reggae, dub and a good portion of rock'n'roll elements and Latin rhythms.

With their "do it yourself" philosophy, they have made a successful career while maintaining their independence.

The name "Argies" is derived from the English slur for "Argentines", which was used by the British tabloid press, especially during the Falklands War in 1982. Far from being nationalists, their name connects the band, whose members define themselves as internationalists, with devalued minorities and marginalized people worldwide.

In the mid-nineties, the Argies left their hometown of Rosario and moved to Buenos Aires. Since then, they have made a name for themselves as one of the most played bands in the city with more than 35 gigs a year. Since 1999, the band has regularly toured extensively in America, Asia and Europe.
