5,5 Grados formed in Argentina during the 1980s with Roberto Pettinato on vocals and lyrics. Their name refers to the Earth's axial tilt, suggesting small changes can have larger effects. The band's music often addressed political themes, with songs like "Opresión" becoming known for its direct commentary on the military regime of that period.
Their lineup included Charly Alberti on drums, Fernando Samalea on bass, and Marcelo Moguilevsky on keyboards. They released several albums including their self-titled debut in 1986, followed by "No es No" in 1987 and "Botas Locas" in 1988. Another track, "Vuelve," appears among their notable songs.
They continued recording through the early 1990s with "El Amor es Más Fuerte" in 1990, and later released "12 Años" in 1998.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
