La Nueva Luna

In 1995 guitarist Ramon Benítez and singer Marcelo González founded the Argentine tropical ensemble la Nueva Luna, which delivered its debut effort Corazón de Madera via domestic imprint DBN (Distribuidora Belgrano Norte) before the year ended. The outfit resurfaced the following year with La Fuerza Jóven, then issued Simplemente Unicos in 1997 and Incomparable in 1998. Although chiefly identified with the Cumbia genre, the group rose to prominence among Argentina’s tropical acts and registered local chart entries with “Todo Me Recuerda A Ti” and “Dime.” DBN unveiled La Nueva Luna 2000 toward the close of 1999.
