Pappo (Buenos Aires, March 10th, 1950 - Luján, Buenos Aires province, February 24th, 2005), born Norberto Napolitano, is definitely one of the most relevant icons on the heavy rock and blues mainstream of over the last 30 years in Argentina’s musical showbiz, if not the one and only representative guitarist/songwriter of the genre all across South America.

A native of the middle-class La Paternal neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Pappo started playing the guitar at the age of ten, and became active in Argentine rock since its beginnings; Pappo was a force in its transition from English to Spanish as guitarist of Los Gatos, the first rock band to enter the mainstream charts in Argentina.
He also played in the first incarnation of cult band Los Abuelos De La Nada and in the quasi-psychedelic La Pesada del rock and roll.
With his band, Pappo’s Blues, he recorded and toured extensively. He became an underground working-class hero, but received no radio airplay. In the mid-1970s, Pappo spent some time in Brazil and also in England, playing alongside Peter Green (formerly of Fleetwood Mac), Lemmy (who later achieved fame with Motörhead), and other rock and blues greats.
Back in Argentina, Pappo formed Riff, a heavy metal band. During the 1982 Mailvinas war, Argentine music was given a large share of radio play, and Riff became popular with rockers.
