Argentine rock (Rock Nacional) is the Spanish-language rock tradition that emerged in Argentina in the late 1960s. It blended the energy and songcraft of Anglo-American rock and roll with local poetic sensibilities, urban bohemian culture, and distinctive Argentine rhythms and harmony.

Latin rock blends the instrumentation and attitude of rock with Afro‑Latin and Caribbean rhythms, percussion, and song forms. Typical bands combine electric guitars, bass, and drum kit with congas, bongos, timbales, and hand percussion, creating a driving, danceable groove grounded in the clave.

Rock en español is the umbrella term for rock music performed in Spanish across Latin America and Spain.

Singer-songwriter is a song-focused style in which the same person writes, composes, and performs their own material, often accompanying themselves on acoustic guitar or piano.

Rock is a broad family of popular music centered on amplified instruments, a strong backbeat, and song forms that foreground riffs, choruses, and anthemic hooks.
