Originated in Mataderos, a humble quartier of Buenos Aires, they started playing small gigs in the neighbourhood. In 1993 A Dónde Me Lleva La Vida was released, which was independently produced, but the requirement to fulfill the public's demand persuaded the band to sign with a major label, PolyGram, with the firm position of not losing artistic independence. Polygram being only in charge of the manufacture and distribution of discs.
In 1994 they managed to completely sell out a concert at Arena Obras Sanitarias, being the first and only band ever to play in that legendary stadium presenting their debut album.

The band would close the year with a huge show, promoted only by word of mouth, in the already-known stadium of Huracán, this show was called the Eye Of the Hurricane because the stage was located in the center of the pitch. The show was released in DVD becoming El Ojo del Huracan.

El Revelde
La Renga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
desde que nació
cómo debe vivir el humano
llegué tarde, el sistema ya estaba enchufado
así funcionando.
Siempre que haya reunión
será mi opinión
la que en familia desate algún bardo
la vida que amo.
Caminito al costado del mundo
por ahí he de andar
buscándome un rumbo
ser socio de esta sociedad me puede matar.
why me gusta el rock, el maldito rock
siempre me lleva el diablo, no tengo religión
quizá éste no era mi lugar
pero tuve que nacer igual.
No me convence ningún tipo de política
ni el demócrata, ni el fascista
porque me tocó ser así
ni siquiera anarquista.
Yo veo todo al revés, no veo como usted
yo no veo justicia, sólo miseria why hambre
o será que soy yo que llevo la contra
como estandarte.
Perdónenme pero soy así soy, yo no sé por qué
se que hay otros también
es que alguien debía de serlo, que prefiera la rebelión
a vivir padeciendo.
La canción "El Revelde" de La Renga habla de una persona que se siente desplazada por el sistema establecido desde su nacimiento. Esta persona no sigue las reglas y normas de la sociedad y, por lo tanto, no encaja en ella. El individuo cuestiona las políticas y las religiones existentes, no se identifica con ninguna de ellas. Siente que su vida es un constante conflicto, y que la justicia no tiene cabida en su mundo. La única cosa que le gusta y lo hace sentir vivo es el rock, el cual lo lleva a enfrentarse con lo establecido.
El ser humano siempre ha buscado un sentido para su existencia, una manera de vivir que tenga significado y lo haga sentir realizado. Sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones, el sistema y las normas impuestas por la sociedad limitan la libertad y hacen que muchas personas se sientan atrapadas en una vida que no les llena. Ese sentimiento de estar en contra del sistema se refleja en la canción, y puede conectarse con muchas personas que se sienten igual en su día a día.
