Los Abuelos de la Nada

When we think of Los Abuelos de la Nada, it's inevitable to imagine a sound that invited celebration, carefree fun, but with a depth that captivated you. The band, which was born in Buenos Aires back in 1967, had an initial phase that, while pioneering in Argentine rock and psychedelic beat, went somewhat unnoticed. However, it was in 1981 when Miguel Abuelo decided to give the project new life, surrounding himself with younger musicians and shifting towards a more pop and lighthearted style. It was in this second cycle that they truly connected with the public, thanks to catchy melodies and the chemistry that was generated, especially between Abuelo and a young Andrés Calamaro, who contributed greatly to the band's sound.

This new phase of Los Abuelos de la Nada became a benchmark for '80s Argentine rock. Songs like Costumbres Argentinas, Mil horas, Sin gamulán, and Himno de mi Corazón became part of the era's soundscape, and they still sound with the same freshness today. The first album, released in 1982, featured production by Charly García and contained those hits that became classics. The connection with García was such that he even invited them to play as support at his show at Ferro in 1982, a key moment that further boosted their growth.
