Review: A groundbreaking 1973 post-bop, avant-garde jazz masterpiece from Argentina, Coraje Buenos Aires is infused with potent political themes and now emerges from obscurity. The record serves as the missing link in Argentina's jazz legacy, and surfaces after five decades to shed light on a tumultuous era. Recorded as a sequel to the seminal Bronca Buenos Aires (1971), Coraje boldly denounces the oppressive military regime through its poignant texts. Despite censorship attempts, the album's tapes resurfaced from the archive of the late Jorge Lopez Ruiz, meticulously restored by Pablo Lopez Ruiz. Accompanied by bilingual notes from Jose Tcherkaski, this historic release redefines Argentina's jazz narrative with its raw authenticity and unyielding spirit.
