Music that would represent modern Buenos Aires?

Question

I want to find a piece of music or two that would clearly represent modern Buenos Aires.

So contemporary, limited on lyrics or instrumental - guitar, maybe nuevo tango?

I am most gratfeful for a top 3.

Any ideas? Something poular in the charts maybe?

Answer 1

I listened the other night to something called Techno Tango which I liked a lot. Something like the theme Roxanne in Moulin Rouge, where the tango rhythm is combined with electronic music.

Answer 2

Modern Buenos Aires.. : BABASONICOS.

Anything of argentine rock .. besides the tired tango.. argentina is known in latin america for rock. THeY ARE FANATICS.

I mention babasonicos above all the great musicions because there is one song of them that always transports me back to Buenos Aires "el colmo". Remiscent of a stroll along Belgrano, Recoleta, or Palermo.
