It was then, in the ‘70s, that the genre was coined as “Latin Rock.” During that same decade, Argentines Charly Garcia and Luis Alberto Spinetta became two of the key artists that formed the “Rock en Español” movement, opening the doors to many popular acts today.Įxperimenting with pop, new wave, heavy metal, and punk, the genre boomed in the ‘80s with the formation of bands such as Heroes del Silencio (Spain), Hombres G (Spain), Los Prisioneros (Chile), Soda Stereo (Argentina), Caifanes (Mexico), and Enanitos Verdes (Argentina). Rock en Español began to get international notice towards the end of the ‘80s and early ‘90s when bands such as Aterciopelados (Colombia), Cafe Tacvba (Mexico), La Ley (Chile), Bersuit Vergarabat (Argentina), and Mana (Mexico) came out to play.Īlthough the genre was at its peak during this decade, a new wave of rock artists continued to revolutionize the genre while changing the game. Meanwhile, in the U.S., Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana formed Santana, bringing to the forefront not only their music style that fused Latin American and Caribbean rhythms but also the Chicano Rock movement. We can also owe part of the genre’s birth to The Beatles, who with their rock-and-roll songs inspired many aspiring bands in countries such as Argentina, Spain, Peru, and Brazil. Due to the song’s success, Mexico became one of the first countries to introduce the new wave of Latin American rockers, such as Teen Tops. One of the first pioneers of the genre was Chicano rock artist Ritchie Valens, who adapted a Mexican folk song and fused it with rock melodies, releasing “La Bamba” in 1958.
