Background notes
Archive material and source history
El Viejo Matadero formed in Tucumán in the late 1990s with Marcos Ontiveros on vocals and guitar, Pablo Vignolo on bass, Pablo Suarez on drums, and Marcos Vergara on violin. They put out their self-titled debut album in 2002. Their music pulled from Argentine folk styles like chamamé and zamba, but with a rock energy behind it. Songs like 'Alguien sangra' and 'Falso Positivo' show that mix.
Ontiveros's political views sometimes drew criticism as the band became more known. They went through some lineup changes, and their sound shifted over time, which didn't sit well with everyone who liked their earlier work. They kept recording despite that, but the story feels a bit unfinished, like there's more that didn't make it into the usual catalog notes.
