Don Cornelio y la Zona


Don Cornelio y La Zona were a new wave and post punk band, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1984. After touring the underground circuit, the group released their first self-titled debut album in 1987, with great repercussion. It was produced by Andrés Calamaro and had a resounding success thanks to the airplay of the song "Ella vendrá" ; it was noted for its mixture of sounds with new wave and post punk unconventional instrumentations.
Following the success of its first studio material, the band would release in 1988 their second album, titled Patria o muerte, which made the band popular to the point that they were meant to open for Iggy Pop on a concert of hisin the Estadio Obras Sanitarias that same year.
Despite their success, in 1989 the band split, after editing a live album, titled En vivo. In the early 1990s, Palo Pandolfo and Federico Gahzarossian reformed the band under the name of Los Visitantes.
