Rock Uruguayo

Rock Uruguayo is a genre of rock music that originated in Uruguay in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, drums, and bass, as well as its incorporation of Latin American rhythms and styles. The genre is heavily influenced by British and American rock music, but also incorporates elements of traditional Uruguayan folk music. Rock Uruguayo is often seen as a form of protest music, as many of its songs address social and political issues. Popular bands in the genre include El Kinto, Los Shakers, and Los Iracundos.
