Don Cornelio y La Zona was a new wave and post-punk ensemble originating from Buenos Aires, established in 1984. After gaining traction within the underground music circuit, they launched their eponymous debut album in 1987, with production by Andrés Calamaro. This release achieved commercial recognition, largely driven by the popular airplay of "Ella vendrá," a track distinguished by its creative fusion of new wave and post-punk sounds.
Their sophomore album, Patria o muerte, arrived in 1988 and significantly boosted their visibility in the music market. This success secured them the chance to perform as the opening act for Iggy Pop at Estadio Obras Sanitarias. Nevertheless, the band dissolved in 1989 following the issuance of a live recording titled En vivo. In the early 1990s, members Palo Pandolfo and Federico Ghazarossian regrouped to form Los Visitantes.
