I've noticed that when meeting a foreign person, mentioning that you like a beloved artist from their country is one of the best way to create a good vibe.
Which revered artist/group (not necessarily musician) from your place should I learn about?
A few examples I'm thinking about (correct me if I'm wrong):

Argentina |
Carlos Gardel |
