"Rock en español" refers to the genre of rock music performed in Spanish, which emerged in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout Latin America and Spain. This movement was influenced by the global rock scene, incorporating elements of traditional Latin music, and often addressing social and political issues relevant to Spanish-speaking audiences. Key bands and artists, such as Soda Stereo, Héroes del Silencio, and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, helped shape the sound and identity of rock en español. The genre has evolved over the decades, blending various styles like punk, pop, and reggae, and continues to thrive in contemporary music scenes across the Spanish-speaking world.
