Rock y Malvinas: Dos álbumes argentinos clave de 1982, Kamikaze de Luis Alberto Spinetta y Yendo de la cama al living de Charly García

This article examines the impact of rock music during the Malvinas War in Argentina, focusing on the contributions of two albums released by Charly García and Luis Alberto Spinetta in 1982. Both artists utilized music as a tool for criticism and reflection within a context of media manipulation and confusion. García employed irony and parody in his lyrics to denounce the absurd war against a superior power and question media sensationalism. His music became a critical and demystifying voice, inviting the audience to reflect and question the received information. Spinetta approached the war from a broader perspective, projecting the idea of war onto a universal plane and reflecting on the inherent violence of warfare itself. His transcendental approach invited contemplation of peaceful solutions and reflection on the abomination of war in general. These two pioneering Argentine rock musicians used music as a form of artistic resistance and social criticism during a time marked by media manipulation. Their works revealed the incongruities and discordances of the era, inciting the audience to reflect and not blindly accept the official narrative. They demonstrated the power of art as a means of expression and social criticism in times of conflict and media manipulation in the context of Argentine rock.
