Adrian Maggi wrote '2 de Abril' in response to the Falklands War, a song that became an anthem in Argentina.
His music often dealt with themes of national identity and displacement, which led to some friction with authorities during Argentina's political turmoil. Maggi worked with a band that included Gustavo Fernández on electric guitar and Eduardo De Michelis on bass.
He released several albums through the 1980s and 1990s, including 'Sur' in 1984 and 'Volver' in 1994. The songs tended to be straightforward folk-rock with lyrics that resonated with listeners who had lived through difficult times.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
