Todos Tus Muertos
Aggressive rasta-punk from Buenos Aires that hits like a brick. Heavy dub bass meets jagged guitars and radical politics for high-energy resistance.

Todos Tus Muertos is a sonic collision that shouldn't work but feels entirely essential. They occupy the volatile space where the raw, jagged edges of 80s hardcore punk meet the deep, hypnotic grooves of roots reggae and dub. It is music that is simultaneously ready to start a riot and lead a spiritual meditation, anchored by some of the most formidable bass work in Latin American rock history.
What makes them distinctive is their 'Patchanka' spirit, a term popularized by their peers Mano Negra. They don't just switch between genres; they inhabit a hybrid identity where Fidel Nadal's rasta-influenced chanting and Horacio Gamexane's slashing guitar riffs feel like two sides of the same revolutionary coin. The rhythm section is remarkably tight, capable of shifting from a breakneck punk gallop to a heavy, spacey dub drop without losing an ounce of intensity.
Start with the 1994 masterpiece 'Dale Aborigen'. It is the definitive document of their peak era, featuring collaborations with Manu Chao and Fabulosos Cadillacs. It perfectly captures their transition from pure punk aggression into the sophisticated, multi-genre protest music that made them international icons of the alter-latino movement.
Todos Tus Muertos (All Your Dead, in English) is a rasta-punk band from Argentina formed in Buenos Aires, in 1985. The longtime line-up comprised by a young vocalist Fidel Nadal, Horacio "Gamexane" Villafañe on guitar, Felix Gutiérrez on bass, and drummer Pablo Potenzoni. They achieved international success throughout the 1990s. The band was part from the second Argentine punk movement that emerged during the mid-1980s. By 2015, a reunion show was announced with Fidel Nadal, Felix Gutiérrez and Pablo Molina at the Jamming Festival in Bogotá, Colombia on 5 June 2016, and more recently three more show in Chile and Mexico.
