Los Abuelos de la Nada are an iconic rock band from Argentina, renowned for their influential role in Latin American music, originating in the 1960s. Founded by the charismatic singer and keyboardist Miguel Abuelo, the band initially started as a psychedelic rock group but then went through a hiatus before re-emerging in the late 1970s. It wasn't until the early 1980s that Los Abuelos de la Nada found substantial commercial success, partly thanks to the addition of talented musicians such as Andrés Calamaro on keyboards and vocals, who contributed significantly to the band's sound and songwriting.

Los Abuelos de la Nada became a key player in the burgeoning Argentine rock (rock nacional) scene, with their blend of rock, pop, and Argentine folk rhythms, underscored by smart, reflective lyrics. Their music captured the complexity of the political and social atmosphere of Argentina during that era, offering both celebration and poignant commentary. Tracks like "Costumbres Argentinas" and "Himno de Mi Corazón" have become anthemic, cherished by generations and illustrating the band's ability to craft songs that resonate well beyond their time. Although the band disbanded in the mid-1980s, their reunion tours and live performance albums, such as "Vivo - Teatro Coliseo," keep their spirit alive, introducing their timeless sound to new audiences while satisfying the nostalgia of long-time fans.
