Dulce Natural—the gritty rock quintet hailing from Gran Buenos Aires’ northern trenches—is back with a vengeance. Fresh off their 2023 EP Marcar el Camino, these veterans are cooking up a new sonic feast. More anthems, more sweat, more rock de verdad. But before we dive into what’s next, let’s rewind this tape.
Formed in 2001 (yep, when flip phones were cool), Dulce Natural has been riding the rock ‘n’ roll rollercoaster for over two decades. Frontman Diego Carrizo, bassist Juan Álvarez, guitar slingers César Aguilera and Santiago Biagioni, and drummer Lucas Carrizo aren’t just a band—they’re a brotherhood. A brotherhood that started in a garage, cranking out DIY demos like 2004’s raw, self-titled Dulce Natural. But hey, every legend starts somewhere, right?
By 2005, they’d leveled up with Remar, their debut album. Picture this: a scrappy indie release that somehow exploded nationwide. Suddenly, these guys were tearing up stages from Buenos Aires to the wild suburbs, their breakout hit “Lamento tanto” blasting on MTV-wannabe channels. Not bad for a bunch of kids who probably still owed their moms rent.
Fast-forward to 2010—cue the confetti—they snagged Best Band of the Year at the Independent Media Awards. Talk about a mic-drop moment! But Dulce Natural wasn’t done. Their 2014 album Luz? A masterclass in heartache and distortion, crowned Best Album by the same awards. Oh, and let’s not forget “Nadie”, the video that turned their angst into art.
When COVID hit, these guys didn’t just sulk. Nah, they went full MacGyver—live-streaming acoustic jams, cracking jokes, keeping fans hooked like a Netflix binge. And in 2022? They stormed back like rock ‘n’ roll zombies, shredding at Escobar Rock Fest like the apocalypse never happened.
Now, let’s talk Marcar el Camino. Four tracks of pure, unapologetic soul—“Estrella”, “Darte todo”, “Lluvia”, “Ayer”. It’s raw, it’s real, and the “Estrella” video (dir. by Gaby Smiths) is a moody masterpiece. Wanna see? Peep it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDfvScuLywE
Go on, I’ll wait.
Upcoming Gigs (Mark Your Calendars, People!):

May 3: La Kalimba, Escobar (“Where the beer’s cold and the riffs are hotter.”)
Dulce Natural, they’re like that battered leather jacket you can’t quit—a little rough around the edges, but damn, it fits perfect. Their music isn’t just chords and choruses; it’s a time machine. One minute you’re moshing to “Lamento tanto”, the next you’re ugly-crying to “Ayer”. These guys aren’t chasing trends—they’re etching their name into Argentina’s rock spine.
