Glorias Porteñas

Glorias Porteñas formed in Buenos Aires in 1999, with Fernando Javier, Néstor Fabián, Gabriel Mores, and Marcelo Mores coming together around tango. They worked in a scene where male voices typically dominated, which made their early path less straightforward.

Their song 'Las Margaritas' became a touchstone for listeners who appreciated their approach to the genre. The track carries the melodic and lyrical weight you'd expect from tango, but with a presence that felt immediate rather than purely archival.

They've been nominated for Latin Grammys and have played notable venues, though their interpretations of classic material have sometimes drawn debate from traditionalists. The band's recordings suggest they were less interested in strict preservation than in finding a space where the form could feel current.
