La era del vinilo en Argentina

This article systematizes and analyzes statistical reports from the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC) on music records production in Argentina between 1964 and 1984. The first section presents the evidence of the economic cycle of expansion and retraction that the Argentine recording industry experienced throughout the period, in full accordance with Latin American and global dynamics. The second section looks to understand this economic process not as a mere “cold fact” but also as both a factor and a sign of profound sociocultural transformations. The coincidence between the period considered by INDEC and the emergent phenomenon of youth music can be seen, in this regard, as completely symptomatic. Similar considerations should be made regarding the increasing importance of the recording format that the new rock culture chose as its own: the LP. As in many other places, Argentine youth music and culture represented one of the most distinctive expressions of the new economic and sociocultural forms of global capitalism in the second half of the twentieth century
