Manuel Rodríguez

Manuel Rodríguez formed in Bogotá, Colombia in the early 2000s. The band took its name from its frontman and drew from rock, punk, and local street music. Their 2006 song "Niño Jodido" became their most recognizable track, with lyrics that addressed social issues in Colombia.

That song's blunt approach to poverty and violence brought the band both attention and criticism. They maintained that their music reflected real conditions rather than promoted confrontation. After "Niño Jodido," they released several more albums including Malparido in 2008 and La Rebelión de los Inocentes in 2011.

Their later work continued in a similar vein, with albums like El Poder del Pueblo and Resistencia Indígena arriving in the 2010s. The band's lineup has included Manuel Rodríguez himself along with other musicians, though specific members beyond the frontman aren't detailed in available sources.
