Synopsis

With bass, drums, cello and vocals situated amid punk urgency, noise, soundscapes and avant-garde experimentation, Blanco Teta breaks genre conventions—in every sense of the word.

Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the group was formed in 2017 out of a need to create a unique sound with an unconventional lineup: a rock setup—not with a guitar, but a processed cello.

Blanco Teta is a quartet of degenerate riot sudacas made up of Carola Zelaschi on drums, Carlos Quebrada aka Genosidra on electric bass, Violeta García on cello and vocals, and Josefina Barreix on vocals. Their first self-titled album, BLANCO TETA, was released in 2017 by the label TVLREC; the second, Incendiada, was recorded in 2019 and released in March 2020 through the label GOZARECORDS.

In early 2025, they embarked on an international tour bidding farewell to ROMPEPAGA, their third album produced by Bongo Joe Records in 2023. They are currently presenting their second LP, LA DEBACLE DE LAS DIVAS, also produced by Bongo Joe Records, which was released in Jul 2024.

Recorded almost entirely live in the studio between Buenos Aires and Barcelona, LA DEBACLE DE LAS DIVAS moves between pop songwriting and corrosive noise, no-wave and DIY electronics, grunge and metal. The lyrics are raw and urgent. It is a collection of corrosive, urgent songs—cynical yet tender—dedicated “to the Flixbus divas and the working-class divas.”
