Many thanks for the note ... Amazon.com in the U.S. appears to have some of his recordings:

 I discovered Hugo Diaz in the '70s when a dear friend of
 mine sent me a
 cassette of some of his selection. It blew my mind.
 Unfortunately I could
 not find any more recordings of him in Europe until I
 managed to visit
 Buenos Aires a few years ago. I did find one CD. His earlier
 recordings are
 just unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this link.
 Sadly he died in 1977 but a lot of his recordings are from
 the '70s.
 I have heard that an Argentenian film "A los quatro vientos"
 (2007) was an
 homage to Hugo Diaz and contains a lot of his recordings.
