1) Rodrigo González (Tampico, Tamaulipas, December 25, 1950 - Ciudad de México, September 19, 1985), also know as Rockdrigo by fans and followers, was one of the precursors of mexican folk-rock and a main figure of the urban rock movement. Along with musicians like Jaime López, Arturo Meza and Rafael Catana, he was one of the main promoters of the Movimiento Rupestre ("Cave Movement"), a voice-and-guitar folk music movement that brought a series of important artists to the history of Mexican rock scene. He died as a victim of the big earthquake that hit Mexico City on September 19th, 1985. Great part of his music stayed as demos, being Hurbanistorias (1983) the only independent and formal release that Rockdrigo produced while he was alive. The rest of his albums, such as "El profeta del nopal", "Aventuras en el DeFe" and "No estoy loco", were released posthumously containing songs previously recorded by himself and others on demotapes and live performances.
