La ruta del rock

La ruta del rock is built around a plain but generous idea: sit with Argentine rock musicians long enough for the real archive to come out. It is not a polished documentary machine. It works more like a room where people remember together. Susana and Julieta Pizera guide the program through BCN Radio with questions that often open sideways, from a record to a studio, from a bandmate to a neighborhood, from a greeting to a whole era. The result is brisk, warm, and dense with names. Fernando Samalea’s episode moves through Panda, San Telmo, Charly García, technology, early projects, and the excitement of a multicolored musical moment after 1983. Claudio "Tano" Marciello’s conversation carries the grain of the road: El Reloj, Alma Fuerte, CTM, guitar stories, Nico, luthiers, old shows, improvised fixes, and scenes that still smell like rehearsal rooms. Juan Rodríguez’s visit stretches across heavy rock and roll, Sui Generis, La Pesada, friendships, drummers, and decades of musical work that still feel active rather than finished. Mario Barassi’s appearance places Los Super Ratones in a wider web of voices, videos, tours, La Costa, Los Auténticos Decadentes, and harmony-rich collaborations. The episode with Willy Quiroga and Piti Fernández has the looseness of friends crossing paths again, with memories of Negro García López, tributes, shared records, acting, jokes, and a closing-year studio mood. The show’s pleasure is cumulative. A single name can set off three more. A detail about a shoe, a guitar, a backing vocal, or a closed venue becomes part of the same route. La ruta del rock suits listeners who want Argentine rock history with fingerprints still on it.
