| Balada para mi muerte, for voice and ensemble |
This is a list of compositions by the Cuban composer and guitarist Leo Brouwer. Given the prominence of the instrument in Brouwer's oeuvre, his works for guitar solo, guitar ensembles, as well as guitar concertos, are all placed in a separate category. However, pieces which include guitar as part of a mixed ensemble, and ones for guitar and tape, are placed into the chamber music category. |

Cuarteto Zupay or simply Los Zupay, was an Argentinian Popular Music group formed in Buenos Aires in 1966 that remained active until 1991. The founding members were the brothers Pedro Pablo García Caffi (baritone) and Juan José García Caffi (first tenor), Eduardo Vittar Smith (bass) and Aníbal López Monteiro (second tenor). Over the years, the group's line-up changed with the exception of Pedro Pablo García Caffi, holder of the group's name, who remained a member until its dissolution. Other members were Eduardo Cogorno (tenor), Rubén Verna (tenor), Horacio Aragona (tenor), Gabriel Bobrow (tenor), Javier Zentner (bass) and Marcelo Díaz (tenor). From 1981 until the dissolution of the quartet in 1991, the line-up was Pedro Pablo García Caffi, Eduardo Vittar Smith, Rubén Verna and Gabriel Bobrow. With a style based on vocal work, Cuarteto Zupay tried to overcome the split between folkloric music and tango, as well as to develop new sounds and themes that could attract young people to a style they called Música Popular Argentina (English: Argentinian Popular Music) or MPA. Among their repertoire stand out Marcha de San Lorenzo, Zamba del nuevo día, Chiquilín de Bachín, Si Buenos Aires no fuera así, Jacinto Chiclana, Canción de cuna para un gobernante, Oración a la Justicia, Como la cicada, Te quiero, Ojalá, etc. Their favorite author was María Elena Walsh, whose songs were included in almost all the albums they released, three of them exclusively. |

| La misma Pena, tango song |
Bailando 2021 is the fifteenth season of Bailando por un Sueño which premiered as a segment on the program Showmatch on 17 May 2021, on the El Trece network following the permanent cancellation of the planned 2020 season. However, the competition will start a day later, on 18 May. Marcelo Tinelli returned as host. In addition, the program will feature for the first time a digital host who will be Lizardo Ponce (also a contestant in this edition). The season was also named as "La Academia" (The academy), because participants must learn and show multiple artistic disciplines —singing, skating, acrobatics, imitation, acting— in addition to performing a dance presentation. There will be new challenges from different artistic manifestations. A new format change was introduced for the rest of the season: In the duel, the couples will have to make a different presentation (it does not necessarily have to be dance, it can be another discipline). What is new about this season is that the judges are going to have the power (in some rounds) to eliminate a couple —although this mechanism has been carried out in the previous season in the rounds of "Duels I" and "Duels II"—. Also on some occasions (in the event of a tie), María Laura "Lolo" Rossi and Eugenia López Frugoni, the choreographers chiefs, define the eliminated couple. |

| Los pajaros perdidos, tango song |
The folkloric music of Argentina traces its roots to the multiplicity of native indigenous cultures. It was shaped by four major historical-cultural events: Spanish colonization and forced African immigration caused by the slave trade during the Spanish domination (16th–18th centuries); the large wave of European immigration (1880–1950) and the large-scale internal migration (1930–1980). Although strictly speaking "folklore" is only that cultural expression that meets the requirements of being anonymous, popular and traditional, in Argentina folklore or folkloric music is known as popular music of known authorship, inspired by rhythms and styles characteristic of provincial cultures, mostly of indigenous and Afro-Hispanic-colonial roots. Technically, the appropriate denomination is "music of folkloric projection of Argentina". In Argentina, the music of folkloric projection began to acquire popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, coinciding with a large wave of internal migration from the countryside to the city and from the provinces to Buenos Aires, to establish itself in the 1950s, with the "folklore boom", as the main genre of national popular music, together with tango. In the sixties and seventies, the popularity of Argentine "folklore" expanded and was linked to other similar expressions in Latin America, due to various movements of musical and lyrical renovation, and the appearance of great festivals of the genre, in particular the National Folklore Festival of Cosquín, one of the most important in the world in this field. After being seriously affected by the cultural repression imposed by the National Reorganization Process, folkloric music resurfaced after the Malvinas War of 1982, although with expressions more related to other genres of Argentine and Latin American popular music, such as tango, the so-called "national rock", the Latin American romantic ballad, the cuarteto and the Colombian cumbia. The historical evolution was shaping four large regions in folkloric music of Argentina: the Cordoba-Northwest, the Cuyo, the Littoral and the southern Pampa-Patagonian, at the same time influenced by, and influential in, the musical cultures of the bordering countries: Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Atahualpa Yupanqui is unanimously considered the most important artist in the history of folkloric music in Argentina. |
