Divididos ("Divided") is an Argentine rock band. The band was formed in 1988 after the death of Luca Prodan and the consequent dissolution of the band Sumo. Ricardo Mollo (vocals, guitar) and Diego Arnedo (bass guitar) joined drummer Gustavo Collado to form a band named "La División" (The Division), which would be later called "Divididos".

== Biography == The group is dubbed La Aplanadora del Rock (The Leveller of Rock) and is known for mixing rock music with Argentine folk music, and cryptic, hard-to-get lyrics. The band started with a lukewarm reception on their debut album, 40 dibujos ahí en el piso (40 drawings there on the floor), which featured a new wave-like sound reminiscent of British band Sumo. However, the group soon rose to prominence in the history of Argentine rock with a very different album, Acariciando lo áspero (Caressing the rough), released in 1991, and then consolidating further in 1993 with their politically committed next album, La era de la boludez (The age of idiocy), and in 1995 with the psychedelic and experimental Otroletravaladna (flesruoykcufog).
