I found this interesting cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" today, which is from an Argentinian-released tribute album. The problem is, I can't find any info about any of the artists who appear on the album. Anyone able to help?
These anonymous tribute albums are a bit of a nightmare. You have two options:
1. Insert each artist individually and just say something like "Anonymous bossa tribute performer" with the country as Argentina in the description.
2. Create "Batacazo Studio Artists" associated with the Batacazo label and make all performers an alias of this generic collective name.
Usually I decide based on on how many recordings the session musicians have made. If it's just a one-off, the second option is cleaner and simpler. If their recordings span many releases, then the first option might help users track recordings to that particular artist.
Here's a related release:

Thanks for the tip. A couple of the artists have appeared on other releases (or at least artists with the same alias), but it looks like for the most part the second option will be best. I'll see what I can do with this and the related Doors one.
I reviewed this album months ago, and it has popped back on may radar. To get the ball rolling:
