Argentine stoner rock band

Los Natas or Natas were an Argentine stoner rock band formed in 1993 in Martínez, Greater Buenos Aires. In their later releases, they had been leaning towards a more experimental sound described by them as free rock. The group disbanded in 2012.

The band was first called Natas, eventually a conflict with a rap outfit of the same name occurred in the early 2000s, so they changed their name to Los Natas. Their musical influences are varied, having the base of the raw and psychedelic sound of 1970s bands such as The Doors, Black Sabbath, The Who, Pink Floyd and Hawkwind, among others. Los Natas proposed a journey made of basic elements: valvular equipment and vintage instruments, they incorporated the use of the senses and perception of the listener as a part of a sonic trip. Their music changes constantly, supported by long jams that gave it a different meaning every time they executed it. Since 1998, the music industry noticed the existence of bands with this musical influence spread around the globe. The scene was growing with the addition of CDs and LPs emerging as a new culture under global codes: the same love for music and the sound. As an answer to the mainstream began this new style under the name of stoner rock; nonetheless, the sound and music of Los Natas went beyond this classification, with the incorporation of Argentine folk instruments and the creation of a very unique sound.

Los Natas toured around the United States (1998 2000), Europe (2003 04) where they shared shows with important bands of the genre such as Queens of the Stone Age, Nebula, The Men of Porn, Unida, Dozer, Circle, Colour Haze, and Brant Bjork & the Bros., among others. They played a series of thematic gigs called Viernes Verdes (Green Fridays) which had 10 editions and took place in Buenos Aires's main theaters: the band played while there were psychedelic projections in the background, becoming as relevant as the band itself. They also presented this performance in several provinces of Argentina. Los Natas announced their disbandment in 2012 through their official Facebook page.
