Argentinian Rock is a genre very widely related to rock, punk, new wave and Heavy metal among many other genres.

It appeared in the second half of the 60′s, during which it originated as a musical genre called “Musica progresiva” to then be called “Rock Nacional” (National Rock). Rock Nacional formed when many underground groups started to compose songs in spanish about topics that worried the youth of that time. Since then, Argentinian Rock has evolved constantly in the 70′s and 80′s to become an internationally recognized genre.
