República Cromañón Nightclub Fire
A fire broke out in the crowded República Cromañón nightclub (mostly known in Argentina as simply "Cromañón") in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 30 December 2004, killing 194 people and leaving at least 1,492 injured. The nightclub República Cromañón (''Cro-Magnon Republic'') was a venue that held concerts and events, on 3060-3066-3070 Bartolomé Mitre street in the Balvanera neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. It was operated by Omar Chabán, and opened on 12 April 2004 with a concert by the band Callejeros, the same band that played on the night of the fire. The club was in a two-story building, with a main entrance with six doors behind it leading into the main area of the nightclub. On the night of the fire, four of the six doors were locked. There was also a connection to a nearby hotel, an emergency exit that was locked, and another emergency exit that was blocked by a fence in front of the stage. There were hardly any fire safety measures, with no reports of a fire detec ...

Catupecu Machu
Catupecu Machu is an Argentine rock band, usually classified as within Rock en Español. Its current band members are Fernando Ruiz Díaz on vocals and guitar; Sebastián Cáceres on bass guitar; Agustín Rocino on drums; and Macabre González on keyboards and samplers. Biography The band started as a power trio in the Villa Luro neighborhood, Buenos Aires, in 1994. It all started when the Ruiz brothers decided to establish a band. As music lovers they already knew how to play the guitar and bass. All they needed was a drummer, so they recruited Marcelo Baraj (who currently plays in Totus Toss). With this first line-up they started playing in the underground concerts of Buenos Aires (performing in the Arlequines theatre), followed by shows around the country. During the following years, they played the “Nuevo Rock” (New Rock) festival of Córdoba (1997), where the press identified them as the next big thing, and also played in the “Monsters of Rock” festival (1998), ope ...

Katja Alemann
Katja Alemann is an Argentine actress and writer. Biography Katja Alemann is the stepsister of the former Minister of Economy, Roberto Alemann. She was married to Omar Chabán, and worked with him to open the Cemento nightclub in 1985. She appeared at the inauguration dressed in a Valkyrie costume, accompanied by a chariot with horses. Their marriage ended in 2001. Alemann posed in 1987 for the Argentine edition of ''Playboy'' magazine; the photos were released the following year. In 1989, as she had become even more famous, ''Playboy'' released the unused photos from the previous photo session. Alemann sued the magazine for the unauthorized commercial use of the photos, asking for their payment as if she had posed for a second time. Alemann was the lead actress of '' La última mirada'' (''The last sight''), a 2011 film about the Dirty War. The movie was directed by Jorge Víctor Ruiz, who had already worked with Alemann in the 1990s, and included the actors Arturo Bonín, Euge ...

Los Violadores
Los Violadores are a rock band from Argentina, pioneers of the punk rock genre in Latin America. History Los Violadores ("The Violators", referring to 'breaking the law', as mentioned in one of their songs, "Violadores de la Ley") was founded in Buenos Aires in 1981 by guitarist Hari "B" (born Pedro Braun). The rest of the band included Stuka (bass), Pil Trafa (vocals) and Sergio Gramatika (drums). In their first years, sometimes they had to perform under the name of ''Los Voladores'' ("The Flying Ones") because the censorship of the military government did not allow the original name of "Los Violadores". After a while, Hari left the band and Stuka took his place at the guitar, with El Polaco taking on the bass; the latter was presumably a relative or an acquaintance of Hari B's. (''El Polaco'' is Spanish for "the Pole". Hari was of Polish descent). Their first hit was the song ''Represión'' ("Repression"), included on their first LP ''Los Violadores'' (1983), issued by the s ...

Former Buildings And Structures In Argentina
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Music Venues In Argentina
Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal. While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition, musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic disciplines, criticism, philosophy, and psychology. Music may be performed or improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice. In some musical contexts, a performance or composition may be to some extent improvised. For instance, in Hindustani classical music, the performer plays spontaneously while following a partially defined structure and using characteristic motifs. In modal jazz the p ...

Flema
Flema is an Argentine punk rock band, that managed to find a unique style in South America, among others. The last configuration of the band was: Ricky Espinosa (Vocals and Guitar), Fernando Rossi (Bass), Luis Garibaldo (Guitar), and Pepe Carvallo (Drums). Their songs usually deal with loneliness, alcohol and drugs, friends, women, politics, and complaints about the tough things in life. Their songs have titles like "Borrachos en la esquina" (drunken on the corner), "Semen de buey" (bullock semen), "el blanco cristal" (the white crystal). The band leader, Ricardo Espinosa (also known as 'Ricky') was a very controversial and beloved figure, and the core and spirit of Flema. Always drunk, always on coke, always in trouble, often the band could not play on a scheduled date because Espinosa and other band members were detained at a local police station. Early days and development The band was formed in 1987, in Avellaneda (Buenos Aires) by a group of teenaged students. There were a l ...
