Artists by country
Emerging artists in Argentinaheard in the working hours of the world.
Yes, artists based in Argentina can join, and several already are. You apply with two or three links, a curator answers within seven days, and if your music fits it goes into sessions played by people working across time zones. Earnings are calculated in US dollars from the minutes your tracks are actually played, which matters when the peso moves.
In rotation from Argentina
The scene in Argentina
Buenos Aires has one of the densest electronic and experimental scenes in the region: home studios, small labels, late shows and a long habit of making instrumental music with cheap gear and a lot of patience. Felt piano, tape loops and modular patches recorded in apartments are exactly the texture the sessions are built from.
Most artists here release on Bandcamp and SoundCloud first and distribute later, which is fine: links are all an application needs, and unreleased material is welcome.
Practical, from Argentina
ISRC and registration are optional
You can apply without an ISRC or a SADAIC registration. If you have them, add them later to your artist profile; they make licensing your tracks to brands simpler.
Links, not files
Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, YouTube or a private link all work. Your listeners are mostly in the US and Europe, so keep every link public and playable from abroad.

Common questions
Can I join Music For Work from Argentina?
Yes. The site is in English but the community is not limited by country. You need to be 18 or over and to hold the rights to the music you send.
How am I paid from Argentina?
Earnings are calculated in US dollars from real listening minutes. The payout method and schedule are set out in the written artist agreement you sign after approval.
Do I need to be a member of SADAIC?
No. Membership is your choice and does not affect the application. It matters only for the performance royalties SADAIC collects on your behalf elsewhere.
Can I write my application in Spanish?
The form is in English, but the free-text fields (your goals, your bio) can be in Spanish. Curators read both.
