Raúl Alberto Antonio Gieco, better known as León Gieco (born on November 20, 1951 in a farm near Cañada Rosquín on northern Santa Fe, Argentina) is a pop-folk music composer and interpreter. He characterises for mixing popular folkloric genres with so-called Argentine rock, and for lyrics with social and political connotations.

Biography

Gieco started working at the early age of 8. With his own money he bought a guitar, and soon started playing at school at patriotic holiday commemorations, and with Los Nocheros folkloric music group. He also played with a rock band called Los Moscos, that soon gained some popularity within the neighbouring towns. They played songs of The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Spencer Davis Group, when they won a concourse to play at Channel 5 of Rosario in 1965.

When he was 18 he went to Buenos Aires to try his luck. There he became acquainted with Litto Nebbia, and specially with Gustavo Santaolalla, who fixed him some chances to play in opening acts for better known musicians.

He got to play with different people, including David Lebón, and in the Buenos Aires Rock Festival in 1971, 1972, and 1973. That year his first album was released, recorded independently with Santaolalla during the previous two years. Its main song was En el país de la libertad (“In the country of freedom”), and the record acquired certain recognition; he is called “the Argentine Bob Dylan”.
