4 Pesos de Propina

4 Pesos de Propina formed in Buenos Aires in 2003, taking their name from the idea of playing for just four pesos as a tip. Their early shows happened at local clubs where they built a following with a mix of rock, ska, and Argentine folk sounds. Pablo Lescano handles vocals and lyrics, with the band including members like Juan Manuel González on drums and Guillermo Lescano on bass.

Their 2006 debut album brought wider attention, particularly through the song "Mi revolución." That track's line about revolution coming through education rather than guns connected with listeners. Other songs like "La Llama" and "Glu Glu Glu" appear in their setlists, showing their range across cumbia, reggae, and hip-hop influences.

They've released albums like "Cumbia Negra" in 2008 and "Espejo retrovisor" in 2012. Their performances have sometimes drawn police attention, but they've kept playing public events. The music stays grounded in the streets where it started, without much polish or studio gloss.
