Origins and Influences
CCA (Canciones Contra la Argentinidad) emerged in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2007. The band's sound is an eclectic blend of rock, folk, and punk, drawing inspiration from local legends like Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota and international icons such as The Clash and Bob Dylan.
CCA's lyrics often address social and political issues, which has sometimes led to controversy. Their song "Desde Abajo" ("From Below"), which criticizes economic inequality in Argentina, sparked protests and became an anthem for the dispossessed.
Despite their controversial nature, CCA has gained a loyal following for their raw energy and uncompromising lyrics. Their performances are known for their cathartic intensity, connecting with audiences on an emotional and visceral level.
