Annotation — Latin & Central American, & Caribbean Music
The song "Bs. As. esquina Vietnam" ("Buenos Aires Esquina Vietnam" or "Buenos Aires Corner Vietnam") (Iguana Records # 74321-16104-2), is another example of the use of the Vietnam War in the post-war years as a point of comparison, in this case an Argentinian city: "like a contagion from Saigon...chopped by Buenos Aires shards". Caballeros de la Quema were a rock group, formed in 1990 in Morón, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and disbanded in 2002. Its members included Alejandro Sorraires (saxophone, 1990-96), Iván Noble (vocals), Javier "Nene" Cavo (drums), Martín Carro Vila (bass, 1990-94), Martín Mendez (guitar), Martín "Cafusa" Staffolari (saxophone), Pablo Guerra (guitar), Patricio Castillo (bass, 1994-2002).
