Background notes
Archive material and source history
Horacio Banegas was born in 1962 in Gancedo, a small town in Argentina's Chaco Province. He grew up with the traditional music of that region, chamamé, which shaped his approach to songwriting. In the 1980s, he started performing with his brother Hugo as Los Hermanos Banegas at local festivals.
He went solo in 1995 with his debut album 'Florcita Amarilla.' The title track became a classic in Argentine folk music, a ballad about lost love that connected with listeners across the country. Another well-known song of his is 'Santiago Es Pueblo Que Canta.'
Banegas has been outspoken about his political views, which has sometimes drawn criticism. He sees music as having a role in social change. His work continues to draw from the sounds and stories of the Gran Chaco region where he began.
