Raúl Alberto Antonio Gieco, better known as León Gieco (born on November 20, 1951 in a farm near Cañada Rosquín on northern Santa Fe, Argentina) is a pop-folk music composer and interpreter. He characterises for mixing popular folkloric genres with so-called Argentine rock, and for lyrics with social and political connotations. Biography Gieco started working at the early age of 8. With his own money he bought a guitar, and soon started playing at school at patriotic holiday commemorations, and with Los Nocheros folkloric music group.
