The first mainstream Argentine rock bands were 1960s groups like Luis Alberto Spinetta's Almendra and Litto Nebbia's and Pappo's Los Gatos, whose 1967 "La Balsa" was the first major hit for rock nacional. The following year, 1968, saw the first publication of Pinap, a rock magazine, and the founding of the first Argentine rock label, Mandioca. In 1969, four major concerts were held: the June Sunday concerts, Festival Nacional de Música Beat, Festival Pinap and Festival de Música Joven.

Despite the success of "La Balsa" and other recordings, rock nacional developed slowly until the military dictatorship (El Proceso) began in 1976. During the first few years of military goverment, a number of rock concerts were held featuring musicians like Charly García and his band Serú Girán. Rock was seen as subversive, however, by the nation's authority figures, who began to clamp down on the music. In a 1976 speech, Admiral Massera denounced rock musicians and fans as potential subversives, and repression began in 1977.

It was not long, however, before rock fans began to re-emerge. A 1980 Serú Girán concert found an audience of more than 60,000 fans chanting no se banca más (we won't put up with it anymore). In response, authorities set up their own music media and concerts in the hopes of neutralizing the threat. Nevertheless, by 1982, it became clear that his hope was not realized with the release of critical songs like "Tiempos Dificiles" by Fito Páez, "Maribel" by Spinetta, "Sólo le Pido a Dios" by León Gieco and "Dinosaurios" by Charly García.
