Progressive music groups from Argentina

Almost all Group names are in ORANGE

-Group names in RED did or will receive airplay in my radio program-

(PS. If you can find a page at the already existing on line Argentine Progressive Music Encyclopedy

"Magic Land" (-written in English-) with some (more beat & early prog) listings at "Dreams, Fantasies & Nightmares" ; I will mark after the name ML or DFN with a link to the apropriate page).
