Hi,

This is an area that I have not exactly given it a proper listen ... I have been mostly European and Californian in my tastes, but there are some things in Latin America that I have given a very good listen to ... the jazz thing being one of them!

Gives me a chance to hear some new things ... though that Chilean group is in my collection. The only think that I am not exactly inspired by, is, for example, some of the Italian new stuff Andrea posts ... it's nice for the most part, but they are all pop/rock copy and while they may be considered "progressive", I think that a lot of that work is not going to be exactly attract a lot of folks. I would not be able to tell you/them what they need, but there are some nice things, though I think that using different instruments instead of the same rock'n'roll stuff would really help ... the new music of the future will have different elements and a varied use of instruments ... that has been the history of music, so seeing the same four instruments, is a bit tough, and sometimes, might not be considered original.

I'm a Latin American who has lived in Latin America his whole life, and I can tell you that exposure to Prog is so rare in my country that I consider myself a loner in that regard. So since I haven't heard any prog from any other Latin American country, I will write about my own.

PA lists only two prog bands from Guatemala: Humus Fuga, which I've never even remotely heard of, and Alux Nahual, which for me is as commercial pop rock as it can be.

Thus, my favorite Latin American prog album is definitely:

Sapiens - Aureola Gris (Guatemala)

I read in their Facebook page that they released a second album with a female vocalist but I have never been able to get a hold of it.

I selected only one album from each band, but bands like Los Javias, Invisible or Os Mutantes have a lot of great music.

Los Jaivas - Alturas de Machu Picchu (Chile)

Invisible - Durazno sangrando (Argentina)

Os Mutantes - Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol (Brasil)

Pescado Rabioso - Artaud (Argentina)

Bacamarte - Depois do fim (Brasil)

Crucis - Los delirios del mariscal (Argentina)

Congreso - Viaje por la cresta del mundo (Chile)

Terreno Baldio - Terreno Baldio (Brasil)

A Barca do Sol - Durante o verao (Brasil)

Nexus - Metanoia (Argentina)

Ekos - Otra dimensión (México)

Arco Iris - Agitor Lucens V (Argentina)

Aquelarre - Brumas (Argentina)

Crisálida - Terra Ancestral (Chile)

Kharmina Burana - Seres humanos (Perú)

Color Humano - 3 (Argentina)

I'd like to tell here that what I'm fond of about listning to Prog from many different countries is that each country has somehow own specific musical characteristics, and I like very much the variety, it gives. I'm very fond of, as well, to enjoy music from different cultures, and I quite often think about how the specific musical characteristics may reflect some broader cultural ones.

Im from Argentina, my favs from mmmy country are:

Bubu - Anabelas

Invisible - El Jardín de los Presentes

Pescado Rabioso - Artaud

Crucis - Los delirios del Mariscal

Rest of Latinoamerica

Bacamarte - Depois De Film (Brazil)

Arteria - 4 visiones (México)

Akineton Retard - Akranania (Chile)

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (Brazil)

Equilibrio Vital - Equilibrio Vital (Venezuela)

Los Jaivas - Alturas De Machu Pichu (Chile)

Hermeto Pascual - Slaves Mass (Brazil)

I don't know any bands from other Latin American countries, so I'm just going to mention Brazilian bands:
