B.A. Rock festival
B.A. Rock was the pioneering Argentine rock festival that gathered the emerging local bands in front of a young, fast-growing audience. Across its editions it became the public showcase of the first generation of rock nacional, from Almendra to Manal and beyond. The festival helped turn a scattered underground into a visible national movement.
