Twenty odd years old this and still sounds pretty fresh to me.  One of my favourite albums.

I Agree completely!  That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!

I want to give this song a higher rating, but parts of it sound like listening to a feedback loop.

Well. It's definitely not quite like anything else. Kinda works like that really hot and sour taste you just need once and awhile.

In the same space, musically and politically, as Thievery Corporation. ¡Viva la revolución! :)

Cool memories tied to this one...first times I was exposed to this amazing group and music were at Trocadero, a trippy little authentic French bistro, in hip, groovy ShimoKitaZawa, Tokyo — an unbelievably narrow 3-story + summer rooftop 100yr old Time Machine assembled crate by crate from Paris — and the staff were French and Quebecois, and Le Fin du Monde was house brew...

fredriley:  Peronismo had a strong re-distributive element to it.  But yes, it would be more accurate to characterize the movement as populist than left-wing.

Nice one!  A bit to long!!

Peron was left-wing in that he nationalized industries. The real problem though transcends cold war labels - Peron and Kirchner were/are both kleptocrats.

Peronista "left-wing"? I'm no expert on Argentina, but my impression of Peronism was of a type of populist nationalism, shading into neo-fascism. I never thought of it as left-wing, and I dare say the leftists locked up by Peron's regime didn't either.

The first post quoted is interesting, and pleasing to me that even with my pidgin Spanish I can understand it :o)

Nice number, this, very Thievery Corporation (or maybe TC was influenced by the Gotan Project). Nice use of samples. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Ya entiendo.  Bastante interesante.

Otherwise the title reminds me of how the Argentines are still mired in social wealth-destroying Peronista left-wing nonsense.

Spent a good portion of the morning researching the role of accordian in eastern European music, and now THIS in my ears.  Wonderful fusion!

It gives me weird thrills each time the fanatic, hatefully agitating voice shouting "The foreign capitalism!" comes in. I think it evokes some of Argentina's 20th Century history. And not only Argentina's.

Muy bien dicho. Me gusta mucho sus canciones y su ritmo sensual. Yet another excellent tune from these Argentines exiled in Paris.

Realy nice to listen to. But do not take this as real Tango Argentino. The rhythm is absoluty not tango. I guess real Tango is hard to listen to for non-aficionados.

Indeed. In my case it's the other way around I'm so into the downtempo that Bill's open minded attitude to a lot of stuff that rock purists might scorn is one of the reasons I spend more time here than at Soma-FM. And in the process I'm exposed to rock classics I may have overlooked as well as some bang up world music, which luckily Bill also favours.
