Azione Artigianale

Azione Artigianale is an Argentine independent record label founded in 2000 by members of the Argentine rock group Pez. It was initially created to release and promote the band's own material, but the project soon expanded to include other artists. According to its Spanish Wikipedia entry, the label's catalogue has grown to include nine artists and nineteen titles. Among its most notable releases are Flopa Manza Minimal (2003), the only album by the group of the same name; two solo albums by Ariel Minimal; and material by Gabriel Ferro and Florencia Lestani. The label is closely associated with Pez, which has released twenty albums and is described as the label's main attraction. Both Cabeza and Quemado were issued from 2000 onward after rights previously belonged to the defunct independent label Discos Milagrosos. Other artists on the roster have included Flopa, Ariel Minimal, Gabo (Gabriel Ferro), Hernán, Sur Oculto, Juan Ravioli, Helecho, Honduras, Franco Salvador, Compañero Asma, and Tantra. The label has also announced plans for reissues of earlier Helecho records and further reissues of Pez albums. Azione Artigianale operates as a private independent label based in Argentina and maintains an official website and online store.
