Biography
Riff was an Argentine hard rock band formed in Buenos Aires in 1980. The band was fronted by guitarist Norberto "Pappo" Napolitano, who formed Riff after dissolving his old musical project, Pappo's Blues. The group was mostly influenced by acts like AC/DC, Motörhead, Saxon, and the new wave of British heavy metal scene, who helped introduce heavy metal music in Argentina in the early 80s.
