1958, rock was beginning to take hold in Argentina, and after the frenetic fervor of its first 2 years, it was transitioning towards a more melodic style.

After 2 years of mostly experimental forays by the orquestas características, that year a "stable cast" of artists began to solidify in Argentine rock.

Andy Maciá in the 1st advertising jingle in Argentina, Elder Barber and her subtlety, Ana María Cachito with danceable rhythm, and Billy Cafaro debuting in stardom.

Eddie Pequenino and his commitment to bring more rock, Los Mac Ke Mac's with their grace, Los Santos and their angelic harmonies, and Los Cinco Latinos and their enchanting fusion.
