Poetas de Nadie

Coto, a big supermarket chain, clads their stores in red and blue tiles. They were shiny and new back in the 1990s but they're showing their age. These two pictures are from a mega-store out in Floresta, where I was walking the other day. Poetas de Nadie [nobody's poets] are a tango/rock group. Their most popular video on YouTube only has a few thousand views so this graffiti might actually be part of their marketing plan.

It is funny that the most popular song by Poetas is "Vencedores Vencidos". This song was originally a hit by Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, from the album "Un baión para el ojo idiota". A pitty that Los Redonditos are not playing together any longer. You would have had some rich material for your blog in one of their shows. However, you may still see Indio Solari and Skay Beilinson (former members of the band) on stage.

Your blog has been included in our guide Around The World.

The guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are readily searchable by date.

Please keep us informed of any changes to your details.
