VARIOUS ARTISTS – DANZA SECRETA – LOST AND HIDDEN GROOVES

Description

Compiled by Buenos Aires DJs and producers Ric Piccolo and Ariel Harari, Danza Secreta: Lost And Hidden Grooves from Argentina (1970-1980) is a deep excavation of Argentina’s underground funk, soul, disco, and experimental dance music scene during one of the country’s most politically turbulent decades. Spanning obscure self-released singles, forgotten studio sessions, and rare groove treasures, the collection captures artists who blended international dancefloor influences with distinctly Argentinian rhythms and psychedelic flair while operating under the shadow of military dictatorship and cultural censorship. Rather than focusing on obvious classics, the compilation highlights hidden gems from artists like The Music People, Domingo Cura, and Orquesta Disco Latino, creating a vibrant portrait of musical resistance, creativity, and escapism across the 1970s underground. With remastered audio, extensive liner notes, and a carefully curated sequence that moves between cosmic disco, jazz-funk, Latin percussion, and cinematic soul, Danza Secreta feels less like a standard compilation and more like the rediscovery of an entire lost musical movement.
