1951 - 1970s
T.K. was an Argentine record label established in 1951, specializing in folk music, tango, and international genres. The label was founded by Inter-Bas C.I. y C. S.A., a company that initially dealt with office supplies and print media before venturing into the music industry. The name "T.K." is believed to be a homophone of the Spanish word "teca," referring to a collection or library, aligning with the company's interest in multimedia devices for audio language courses.
T.K. released its first records in 1951, starting with shellac 78rpm discs before transitioning to 45rpm formats in the early 1960s. The label was active until the 1970s, contributing significantly to the preservation and promotion of Argentine musical heritage.
