12 Discipulos

12 Discipulos formed in Buenos Aires in 1992 with Germán Daffunchio on vocals, Daniel Sbarra and Sergio Rotman on guitars, Jorge Rossi on bass, and Marcelo Rodríguez on drums. Their debut album came out the following year, and the track '12 Meses Del Año' caught on quickly. It became the kind of song people knew the words to, even if they weren't regular listeners.

Their sound pulled from rock, reggae, and folk, which wasn't a completely new mix in Argentina, but they did it with a direct, unpolished energy that worked on stage. They kept putting out records through the '90s, like 'Quema el Cielo' in 1995 and 'Alma de Fuego' in 1998. Other songs, such as 'Atrevida Bandolera' and 'Donde Hubo Fuego', became part of their setlists.

There were some public disputes and scrutiny over their lyrics around 1997, which led to a short break from playing live. The original lineup shifted over time, though Daffunchio, Sbarra, and Rotman stayed with the project. They released a later album called '20 Años' in 2012.
