Rock music is no longer as popular in the world as it once was (and what a loss THAT has been, am I right?) - but rock "in español" has a very important place in world history.
Not only was it super difficult to produce and promote (thanks to the fact that Latin American dictatorships would read the lyrics with magnifying glasses to ensure it wasn't "inciting violence"), but also because labels looked to fund more traditional Latin American music.
In this episode, we discover how exactly the top Latin American rock bands of all time managed to overcome these endless obstacles, carve their place as musical legends, and remain in the collective memory of global citizens forever. Rock on!
