Rock En Español
Rock en español is rock music sung in Spanish, made by bands from Latin America, Spain and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States.
It covers everything from new wave and punk to hard rock and ballads; the shared thread is the language. Spanish-language rock dates back to late 1950s covers of rock and roll, but the name is most tied to the 1980s and 1990s, when bands from Argentina, Mexico, Spain and Chile found fans across the whole Spanish-speaking world. Latin rock is a related term that stresses Latin rhythms more than language.
Artists it is known for: Soda Stereo, Caifanes, Héroes del Silencio, Los Prisioneros.
