The supreme importance of ice cream in Argentina. Don´t confuse it with American ice cream; here, they only have gelato, and some might say better than Italian´s.
I agree, Ed. Los Andariegos took folkloric music to a very sophisticated level in terms of arrangements, harmony and playing. And I agree, the vocals are really impressively put together. You’d enjoy that entire album I think.
Ah yes, helado! First of all, I don't know what a cone or a cup is – I go directly for cuarto kilo, and eat the whole thing right there. My favorite combination is very dark chocolate with maracuyá, and a third one to vary from one sitting to the next. Now, let's start a real fight: Volta or Freddo...? Actually, neither one, I prefer Pérsico. And of course, I get helado in July and August, who wants to wait for summer?
Let the fights begin! Freddo used to be good but now it’s mediocre! Cadore is the best and Scannapieco is also very good. Also there is a great place in Palermo called Finde.
Salivating for helado. Loved the samples but La oncena - Los Andariego blew me away with the perfect vocal alignment. Is that really possible?

In Constelaciones del Sur, the lines
"Ay, tal vez quieran ver el delirante circo
Que supimos conseguir"
are (in my view) an ironic reference to the National Anthem in the context of our political reality.
I think you’re right, Gerardo
