La Revolución de Emiliano Zapata (meaning "Emiliano Zapata's Revolution" in English) is a Mexican rock band that broke sales records in Europe and Mexico with their hit song "Nasty Sex" at the height of the counterculture era of the early 1970s. Breaking ties with their original concept as the hippie era waned worldwide by the mid-1970s, they continued actively interpreting romantic ballads with considerable success. In 2009, they returned as a rock act.

The band has gone through numerous musical and lineup changes, and throughout its existence the only member that has always been in the band is its founder, Javier Martín del Campo.

In the era of psychedelic rock and under the influence of American hippies of the late 1960s, a Mexican multidisciplinary counterculture movement called La Onda was born. Headed by Javier Martin del Campo, a band was formed in Guadalajara with the intention of interpreting contemporary popular songs of the era in their own style. Initially, their hobby led them to play at local parties, but the resulting fame soon spread beyond their city. They adopted their name after Emiliano Zapata's slogan of "Tierra y Libertad" (Land and Liberty) as a protest to the establishment by using national symbols. The group won the most call-in votes during a contest organized by a local radio station called "Radio ondas de la alegria" (Waves of Happiness Radio), and earned themselves an audition with an important record label.

Although initially reluctant, they signed a contract with Polydor Records, launching their brief but successful foray into the world of rock music. With an original musical concept and creative sense, the group moved to Mexico City, continuing to adapt their urban rhythms and establish a base for their new musical launches. In 1970, they released their first record, containing songs "Nasty Sex", "Shit City" and "Still don't (Not yet)", which quickly shot up the popular charts both locally and worldwide.[8] The head office of Polydor Records sent the group five medals as recognition for their high level of sales in the Americas, United Kingdom, and Europe of their one big hit, "Nasty Sex."

Despite its suggestive title, "Nasty Sex" asks women not to have casual sex with irresponsible men but rather with men they love, something La Onda's icon Parménides Garcia criticized severely in his articles, referring to them as "snobbish" ("fresas").
