"From second half of the ' 60, the Beat movement and the first National Rock were flag of the young people, protagonists like never until then, of a society in transformation towards modernity. The built of the first bands, the scope for the first concerts, the difficulties of the pioneers to be able to sing in Spanish and the communion of the rockers with artists of other disciplines, speak of new codes until then non-existent. Before the boys of the Cave began to write the History of the Argentine Rock, the young people went up to around the 25-35 years. Suddenly they did not arrive at 20, they occupied his space in the press and in the public opinion, and defied the vision that the adults had of them. While the political class failed in the decade of the ' 60, the ""Military Party"" occupied its place and exerted its repressive power against students and unionists, also persecuting to the young people by carrying of guitars and long hair. Some saw to the Rock like ""Foreigner and colonizing"". Today the connoisseurs of the entire world get at Buenos Aires to buy those first vinyls of the Argentine Rock ""because their music and its poetic are absolutely original"". Also there was who read in his speech ""a romantic and unworkable utopia""... Peace and Love. If today we continued yearning for the same, was about an utopia or an idea that not knew/want to interpret? Defendant of apolitical, represented a true cultural resistance the authoritarianism. It is time to review the history of the ARGENTINA BEAT."
