Hola Luis,
Indeed, there were some good jazz bands in Argentina in the 1920s. If
you go to
http://bixography.com/wbix1to50.html
scroll down to program # 26 and click on the "streaming audio file"
link, you will find, at 12 min, two recordings by Adolfo Carabelli. He
had a successful jazz band in the 1920s in Buenos Aires.
I realize that it would be a lot of work, but red hot jazz aficionados
would be extremely grateful to you if you could add audio files to the
lists of recordings that you already provided.
Un saludo cordial,
Albert
