Following Argentina's general election of 1983 and subsequent return to democracy, the country's rock & roll scene flourished. Among the many bands to appear during this new era was Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll, an all-female act featuring lead singer Mavi Díaz, guitarist María Gabriela Epumer, bassist Claudia Sinesi, and keyboardist Claudia Ruffinatti. The band's bright, poppy sound earned Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll a spot in Argentina's newest musical movement, La música divertida, whose literal translation — "fun music" — mirrored the genre's emphasis on humorous lyrics, an upbeat disposition, and a playful approach. Featuring the popular single "Bikini a Lunares, Amarillo, Diminuto, Justo Justo," the band's self-titled debut album became a national hit in 1984. Ciudad Catrúnica followed in 1985 and included a cover of the Chordettes' classic pop song "Lollipop." Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll jettisoned their 1960s influences and modernized their sound with 1986's Vale Cuatro, a synth-pop album that was acclaimed by critics yet largely ignored by consumers. The band broke up two years later. Although they reformed years later and released a comeback album, Perlas y Diamantes, in 2014, the members of Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll are best remembered for their 1980s heyday, as well as enduring hits like "Solo nos quieren para eso" and "Heavy Metro."
