About Estudios Audión, a family legacy.

​

Estudios Audión was established in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Nelson “Nelo” Villagra in the 70´s. Him and his family managed the studio, recording over 400 records of different genre, from folklore to rock n roll. Such as
Chico Novarro y Jairo, Zitarrosa, Les Luthiers, Billy Bond y La Pesada, Arco Iris, Pastoral…

Today, the legacy is inherited by their two offspring, Gonzalo “Crudo” Villagra and Alvaro Villagra (Grammy-award winning, Producer/Engineer), who grew up perfecting the craft of Audio Recording, Mixing and Mastering. 

​

In 2014, Gonzalo “Crudo” Villagra, the youngest son, in tribute to his father, re-opened Estudios Audión.
