Editor's note

La Bala's Argentine rock with a human pulse

A Córdoba band that kept playing through loss, anchored by songs like 'Desde El Cielo'.

For their sound, start with 'Desde El Cielo'. For their attitude, try 'Soy Yo'.

They made rock that felt local and lived-in, not just imported. 'Desde El Cielo' won a Gardel Award and became a genuine hit in Argentina, which doesn't happen often for bands outside Buenos Aires. Their music has that mix of straightforward rock and Latin rhythms that feels natural, not calculated.

They formed in Córdoba in 1998 around Sergio Verdinelli, Alejandro Bustos, and Gustavo Rowek. After Bustos died in 2002, they kept going with Diego Siry on bass, releasing albums like 'Luz' and the award-winning 'Desde El Cielo' in 2006. They've put out five studio albums total, the last one in 2015, and they're still playing shows.

Archive material and source history

La Bala formed in Córdoba, Argentina in 1998 around vocalist and guitarist Sergio Verdinelli, bassist Alejandro 'Bala' Bustos, and drummer Gustavo 'Chino' Rowek. The band's name came from Bustos's nickname. In 2002, Bustos died, and Diego 'Kiko' Siry joined on bass. They released their self-titled debut album in 2000, followed by 'Luz' in 2003.

Their 2006 album 'Desde El Cielo' included the title track, which became a hit in Argentina. The song 'Desde El Cielo' appears on their top songs list alongside 'Soy Yo' and 'Maldito Futbol'. The album won a Gardel Award for Best Rock Album. They've released five studio albums total, with the most recent being another self-titled record in 2015.

Guitarist Esteban 'Negra' Dumesnil also plays with the group. Their music incorporates rock with some Latin rhythms, though they've never been strictly one style. They've continued performing and recording in Argentina since their formation.
