So this round, our friend Friday has given a contest between two prog bands from Argentina. Here are the details:
Alas - Alas
"Lovely album from the Argentinian outfit Alas, released in 1976. Brings to mind ELP and Return to Forever, but with a distinct twist." - normaloctagon

vs.
Serú Girán - La Grassa de las Capitales
"One of the many projects by Charly Garcia, one of the biggest names in latin rock. La Grasa de las Capitales is a slow, bluesy prog album with what feels to me like a very nocturnal and urban vibe. Also a lot of jazz fusion into it, and your classic argentinian vocals!" - MrSirLordGentleman

I don't know anything about either of these bands. However, I can tell you MrSirLordGentleman, who recommended the second LP, is the only contestant who has ever won the Prog Contest twice. So I'll be watching (and listening to) this round with special interest.
