Uruguayan punk

Although Uruguayan punk rock seems to be born in the recent years - between the 80's and 90's decades - when talking about Uruguayan rock and roll lots of earlier bands must be placed in history. From the late years of 1960's, Uruguay has seen how shyly and slowly teenage garage bands emerged as a response to traditional aestethic and popular culture parameters. What is more, in the past decade rock and roll has proliferated reaching respectable levels of professionalism, as well nowadays Uruguayan rock scene enjoys of an excellent reputation among other South American scenes.

Without incurring into error it is possible to set the beginning of Uruguayan rock and roll during the decade of "British Invasion", which evidently had been leaded by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, both main references for young rock bands.
