Spanish term or phrase: banda magnética
THis is a text about the work of experimental Peruvian artist Jorge Eielson.
“(…) he escrito artículos para periódicos y no soy periodista. He escrito algunas piezas de teatro y no soy dramaturgo. Hago también esculturas y no soy escultor. He escrito cuentos y no soy cuentista. Una novela y media y no soy novelista. En 1962 compuse una misa solemne a Marilyn Monroe, para banda magnética, y últimamente preparo un concierto y no soy músico. Como ves, no soy nada

"metal strip" seems to have to do with a sort of card, not making sound It's not metal band either....THANKS
