Argentine rock (locally Rock Nacional) is composed or made by Argentine bands or artists mainly in the Spanish language. For nearly half a century it has been a major popular genre, and it is considered part of the popular music tradition of Argentina alongside Argentine Tango, and Argentine folk music. The moment when ''Argentine rock'' began as a distinct musical style can be traced to the middle 1960s, when several garage groups and aspiring musicians began composing songs and lyrics that related to local social and musical themes. Rock & Roll itself, however, began in Argentina almost a decade before. During that time until the rise of Argentine rock, local groups recycled the hits of English-language rock & roll. Since then, Argentine rock started a continued and uninterrupted evolution through the 1970s and into the 1980s, when it turned into an international genre. It is widely considered one of the most prolific and successful forms of Rock en Español, and one of the most important non-English language forms of rock music in the world. In Argentina it is known as "Rock Nacional" (''/rok.nasjo'nal/''), literally National Rock (not in a political way at all but as a local movement). A distinct trait of Argentine rock is its uncompromising stance to sing rock only in the Spanish language. Rock music is made in many languages around the world, but in most cases it shares the lyrical creative pen with English. The Argentine rock movement was one of the first non-English forms of rock to be commercially successful ''outside'' its own nation. To this day it is rare for an Argentine rock band to sing in a language other than Spanish as it happens in other nations and languages, and even within Latin America and Spain (except to convey a sense of artistic ''free license'', or in an attempt to isolate their message or aesthetic). Argentine rock today is a broad term describing a number of rock styles and sub-cultures within Argentina. == 1958−1964: Early rock and roll == Rock and Roll music emerged from the United States from a Rhythm & Blues base, gaining international popularity in the 1950s with artists like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley (who visited Argentina in 1958), awakening the interest of several Argentine artists with ideas to replicate their sounds. Argentine garage bands sprung up in the wake of the early days of rock and roll. Most notable among them was Sandro y Los de Fuego, who recorded a successful series of Spanish language covers of rock and roll hits from that time, and attained commercial popularity. Sandro would soon embark on his own contemporary pop standards career that would make him popular internationally. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Argentine rock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
