However, the great heyday of what is now defined as “rock en español” began in the 1980s and continued in the 1990s, when post-punk, new wave and hard rock became new sources of influence for Spanish-speaking artists, shaping a unique sound of bands that are still influential today. If there is one musical style that spread like a bolt through the Hispanic world in the 20th century, it is the rock genre, which is still known in Spain and Latin America as a defining element of pop culture. Later, in the next decade, bands emerged that began to add some variations to the traditional sound of rock in the 1970s – different rhythms that created a “Latin milieu” – without neglecting the influence of psychedelic and progressive sub-genres. This list reveals something very important about Hispanic rock, which is totally heterogeneous, even though all Hispanic and Spanish rockers speak the same language. You could say that this richness transcends the Anglo-Saxon rock movement, as many countries offer unique scenarios in which many variations of rock music can flourish. So when we talk about rock in Spanish, we can talk about alternative rock, electronic rock, indie rock, pop rock, hard rock, heavy rock, and many other adjectives.
