Los Carabajal, an emblematic figure in the folklore music scene of Argentina, hail from the province of Santiago del Estero, a cradle of traditional folk music. The band was formed in 1967 by the Carabajal brothers - Carlos, Mario, Agustín, and Oscar – who sought to celebrate and preserve the rich cultural heritage of their homeland through music. Their surname, synonymous with deep traditional roots and the enduring sounds of Argentine folklore, carries a legacy that spans over half a century.

Immortalizing the essence of the Santiago del Estero folk style, Los Carabajal's music resonates with the strumming of guitars, the heartbeat of the bombo legüero, and the potent lyrics that speak of provincial landscapes, love, native customs, and social issues. They are known for their soul-stirring harmonies and lively chacareras, a dance-centric genre that captures the spirit of their region. Their commitment to their roots is evident in their most recent works such as "Mi Guitarra," "Entre a Mi Pago Sin Golpear," and "Como pájaros en el aire," songs that showcase their dedication to the purity of their genre. Notable projects like "San Francisco de Asís - Cantata Santiagueña - Homenaje al Papa Francisco" highlight their versatility and capacity to interweave contemporary themes with traditional forms. Los Carabajal's enduring popularity is evidenced by their live albums like "50 Años (En Vivo)," which not only celebrate their storied career but also underscore the band's electrifying connection with audiences, ensuring their music remains a living, breathing aspect of Argentina's cultural tapestry.
