Los
Fronterizos is an Argentine musical band consisting of four men. The group was established in
1953 in the northern province of Salta--
bordering on Bolivia -- from which "Los Fronterizos" ("men of the
frontier") is derived.
Los Fronterizos are among the most famous Argentine
musical bands. They recorded over thirty records during the fifty years in
which they were active. Their genre is Folklore Argentino
("Argentine
Folk") which blends powerful, vibrant
rhythms from the Spanish Flamenco with indigenous South American elements
such as the Andean flute, or quena. The
latter is a hallmark of the Musica
Andina genre which became well known in the
U.S with Simon
& Garfunkel's English version of "El
Condor Pasa". Some of the Fronterizos' most famous records are Personalidad
en Folklore (circa 1962), Color en Folklore, and Ariel Ramírez Misa Criolla (1964 and 1977). In most songs, the band's instrumentation includes acoustic
guitars and bombo legüero (a large indigenous drum), and occasionally, charango and quena.
Los
Fronterizos' success may be attributed to their touching melodies written by
some of Argentina's
best songwriters and to their remarkable harmony and rare combination of voices
(one alto, two tenors, and one bass).
The group formally disbanded in 1977 but continued to
reunite and perform in tours with great success for years thereafter. The very
powerful lead voice (one of the two tenors) belonged to Gerardo López who died
in 2004.
Tamos en unos tiempos
tan maliciosos
que una niña no puede
no puede mirar un mozo
Mirar un mozo si
y si lo miran
luego salen las viejas
con el cui... cuidado niña
Allá va, allá viene
debajo de un limón verde
allá va, allá viene
despreciando a quien la quiere
Cuidado niña dicen
da vuelta y veme
que esta señal que te hago
sin querer algo contiene
Algo contiene si
dale que dale
mientras más chicharrones
cada vez más grasa sale
