Music of Argentina

The music of Argentina includes a variety of traditional, classical, and popular genres. According to the Harvard Dictionary of Music, Argentina also "has one of the richest art music traditions and perhaps the most active contemporary musical life.[1]

One of the country's most significant cultural contributions is the tango, which originated in Buenos Aires and its surrounding areas during the end of the 19th century.[2] Folk music was popular during the mid-20th century, experiencing a revival in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s with the rise of the Nuevo cancionero movement.[3] The mid-to-late 1960s also saw the rise of Argentine rock (known locally as rock nacional), which is considered one of the earliest incarnations of Spanish-language rock to have an autochthonous identity that prioritized original compositions in Spanish.[citation needed] Rock nacional was widely embraced by the youth and has become an important part of the country's musical identity.
