La Torre was a rock ensemble from Argentina, fronted by lead singer Patricia Sosa, and established in Buenos Aires in 1981.
Career
The band initially consisted of Gustavo Giles on bass, Ricardo Giles handling drums, Carlos García López on guitar, Oscar Mediavilla also on guitar, Luis Múscolo playing keyboards, and Patricia Sosa as the vocalist. Their first album, titled after the band, was launched through RCA Victor in 1982, coinciding with their participation in the BA Rock festival that same November.
In 1983, their album Viaje a la libertad embraced a stronger rock influence, which was further intensified in the 1984 release Sólo quiero rock & roll. Following changes in membership, the 1986 record Presas de caza transitioned towards a more mainstream pop metal approach. Their concluding studio album, Movimiento, came out via DG Discos in 1988 and was succeeded by a concert tour across the U.S.S.R.. The group ultimately dissolved in 1989.
