Blanco Teta (AR) je četveročlani bend iz Buenos Airesa osnovan 2017. godine. Od samih početaka profilirali su se na latinoameričkoj underground sceni kao jedan od najoriginalnijih sastava zahvaljujući nesvakidašnjoj postavi bez gitare i spoju noisea, punka, free jazza i eksperimentalnih zvukova. Svoj su rad predstavili na brojnim turnejama u Argentini i Europi, gdje su dijelili pozornice s izvođačima poput Moor Mother i Lee Ranalda.
Njihov aktualni album Rompepaga (2023., Bongo Joe Records), snimljen uživo bez studijskog poliranja, opisali su kao „glasnu i prkosnu ploču koja hvata energiju benda u punom zamahu” (The Wire). Kritičari ga svrstavaju među najsvježije primjere queer-latinx eksperimentalnog rocka današnjice, dok ga publika prepoznaje po beskompromisnoj snazi i izraženoj političkoj dimenziji.
Helena Hauff (DE) je DJ-ica i producentica iz Hamburga poznata po setovima isključivo na vinilima i beskompromisnom analognom pristupu. Svoj put započela je kao rezidentica u legendarnom Golden Pudel Clubu, gdje je oblikovala mračni i energični stil koji ju je brzo izdvojio na međunarodnoj sceni. Guardian ju je opisao kao “figurehead for a noisy, neo-gothic imperative in techno”, a 2017. postala je prva žena kojoj je BBC Radio 1 dodijelio nagradu za Essential Mix of the Year. Time je potvrdila status jedne od najistaknutijih figura suvremene elektronike. Kao producentica objavila je hvaljene albume Discreet Desires (2015) i Qualm (2018), a vodi i vlastitu etiketu Return to Disorder, posvećenu sirovom i eksperimentalnom zvuku.
Blanco Teta (AR) is a four-piece band from Buenos Aires, founded in 2017. From the very beginning, they established themselves as one of the most original acts on the Latin American underground scene thanks to their unconventional line-up without a guitar and their fusion of noise, punk, free jazz and experimental sounds. They have presented their work on numerous tours across Argentina and Europe, sharing stages with artists such as Moor Mother and Lee Ranaldo.
Their latest album Rompepaga (2023, Bongo Joe Records), recorded live without studio polish, was described as “a loud and defiant record that captures the band’s energy in full swing” (The Wire). Critics have hailed it as one of the freshest examples of queer-Latinx experimental rock today, while audiences recognize its uncompromising power and strong political dimension.
