Johnny Tedesco (1943–2004) was an Argentine rock and pop singer who became one of the country’s early teen idols during the 1960s. As a pioneering figure in the "Nueva Ola Argentina" movement, he helped introduce rock and roll to Spanish-speaking audiences with his energetic performances and youthful charisma. Known for his television appearances and lively stage presence, Tedesco bridged American rock influences with Latin flair, leaving a lasting mark on the evolution of modern Argentine popular music.
