Miguel Ángel Mateos Sorrentino (born January 26, 1954[1]) is an Argentine rock singer-songwriter from Villa Pueyrredón, Argentina. Outside Argentina he is considered one of the most important exponents of Rock en Español, specially in the 1980s when he along with Charly Garcia, Soda Stereo, Enanitos Verdes, Virus, Sumo, Fabulosos Cadillacs, Rata Blanca, and many more bands became international stars in the so-called "Argentinian Invasion" ("La Ola Argentina") of rock music that swept Latin America and parts of North America and Europe.[2] It helped popularize Spanish-language rock outside Argentina, and make the genre a commercially successful industry.
