Babasonicos – Anoche (Universal Music Argentina)
Reviewed by Sadie O., 7/31/06
Rock en Espanol! 60’s and 80’s inflected pop and rock from Buenos Aires. Very accessible, not especially “Latin”.
No FCCs that I know (all in Spanish). Tracks 11 and 14 are particularly boss and groovy.

***Rock y Roll como los 60’s! Fast, energetic and fun.
2. Carismatico 2:35
