Argentinean band Viva Zapata was formed by singer/songwriter Roxana Amed and guitarist/composer/former Atracción Fatal Fernando Bustos, who met in 1994, shared their ideas about music, and decided to create an alternative act focusing on social issues. Soon after, Bustos and Amed were joined by ex-El Rio Sabe keyboardist Sergio D'Ambrosio, ex-Alcoholica and Presión Urbana drummer Lucas Becerra, and ex-La Raja guitarist Diego Epelbaum. The band started interacting with similar numbers in 1995, soon issuing Pueblos En Armas. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
