Don Cornelio y La Zona were a new wave and post punk band, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1984. After touring the underground circuit, the group released their self-titled debut album in 1987, with great repercussions.[1] It was produced by Andrés Calamaro and had a resounding success thanks to the airplay of the song "Ella vendrá" (in English: She will come); it was noted for its mixture of sounds with new wave and post punk unconventional instrumentations.[2]
Following the success of its first studio material, the band would release in 1988 their second album, titled Patria o muerte, which made the band popular to the point that they were meant to open for Iggy Pop on a concert of his in the Estadio Obras Sanitarias that same year.[3][4]
Despite their success, in 1989 the band split, after editing a live album, titled En vivo. In the early 1990s, Palo Pandolfo and Federico Ghazarossian reformed the band under the name of Los Visitantes.[5]
