Enanitos Verdes is one of the most influential bands in the history of Rock en Espanol. The extensive and timeless repertoire produced by this Argentinian band is a solid proof of that. From "Lamento Boliviano" to "La Muralla Verde," the following selection features the best songs Enanitos Verdes produced during the glorious time when Latin Rock evolved into one of the most powerful genres in Latin music.

In terms of its lyrics, this is also one of the most unique songs produced by this Argentinian band. It talks about a strange guy with long hair whose 'weirdness' is the result of the love story he never had.

"La Muralla Verde" is probably the most famous song ever produced by Enanitos Verdes. This track is definitely an essential song of the Rock en Espanol movement that took by storm Latin America during the 1980s. Its Rock melody is fast and injected with a vibrant electric guitar playing throughout the whole song. A classic tune from the hit album Contrarreloj.
