La Torre was an Argentine rock band, led by vocalist Patricia Sosa, and founded in Buenos Aires in 1981.
The first line-up included Gustavo Giles (bass), Ricardo Giles (drums), Carlos García López (guitar), Oscar Mediavilla (guitar), Luis Múscolo (keyboards), and Patricia Sosa (singer). They recorded a first, self-titled LP for RCA Victor in 1982, and were featured at the BA Rock festival, in November 1982.
In 1983 the second album Viaje a la libertad showed a more rocking style, confirmed with the third LP, Sólo quiero rock & roll, from 1984.[1]
With some line-up changes a fourth album was released in 1986, Presas de caza, featuring a radio-friendly pop metal sound. The last effort, entitled Movimiento, was released by DG Discos in 1988, followed by a tour through the U.S.S.R., soon before disbandment.[2] The band finally broke up in 1989.[3]
