This Friday, May 21st, on 9 de Julio Avenue, the official celebrations of the Argentine Bicentenary will begin. The show that will inaugurate the commemoration is the homage to Argentine Rock (Rock Nacional o National Rock, as we know it). A tribute to those artists who created a local expression of rock since the end of the 60’s decade. Rock in Spanish (or even better in Argentine) that transcended frontiers towards Latin America.From the first recordings of the 60’s until today, a festival that will gather artists of the past decades and contemporary ones to review the Argentine rock history. The official presenter will be Lito Nebbia, living legend of our rock and founder of Los Gatos (The Cats) the first rock and roll band in Argentina. The event starts at 8PM and –as every good rock show- might last until dawn.
The main stage, behind the Obelisco, will present some of the key bands and artists of the genre such as: Fito Páez, León Gieco, Miguel Cantilo, Moris, Antonio Birabent, Silvina Garré, Los Auténticos Decadentes, Los Pericos, Las Pelotas, Virus with Estelares and Árbol and, the Uruguayan neighbors El Cuarteto de Nos. An unforgettable night for Argentine rock lovers and a unique chance for those wanting to discover it… for free.Oscar Parrilli, Secretary General of the Presidency was in charge of introducing the activities schedule of the Bicentenary. About this rock show he said: “(Rock) is part of our history as much as tango or folklore”. He also announced shows from different music styles in the next days.
