Their first record, “LOS PERICOS” released in 1988 was the best selling album of the year, obtaining Triple Platinum Award for its 180 thousand units sold.
One year later, they recorded KING KONG, produced by Herbert Vianna (OS PARALAMAS DO SUCESSO). Immediately after, they launched Maxi ANFITREU, a vinyl disc that impacted because of its unique style.
In 1990 LOS PERICOS launched their third studio record RAB A DAB STAIL and they went on tour, performing several live concerts around Argentina, highlighting the two shows at the LUNA PARK Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Their 4th album, BIG YUYO, was launched in 1993. In it PERICOS, showed a strongly predominant musical sound reflecting their own identity with songs such as: ME LATE, WAITIN, HACE LO QUE QUIERAS, etc. They caused a surge of popularity across Latin America countries chartering successfully.

That July, they enthusiastically embarked on a tour through the United States including the cities of Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston, after finishing the recording of their 5th album in that country.
With the released of PAMPAS REGGAE, tours across Latin America and the sales of their records continued to increase.
Their sales reached more than one million copies worldwide.
Their 6th album, YERBABUENA, was released simultaneously in every country of LATIN AMERICA, the UNITED STATES and SPAIN.

The presentation of MYSTIC LOVE was on AUGUST 31st and September 1st at the OPERA THEATRE, both performances were absolutely SOLD OUT without having the opportunity to add shows due to the theatre’s lack of available dates.

In 2004, the Argentinean band with 17 years of successful path, surprised its fans by changing their vocal scheme; with Juanchi Baleiron switching from lead guitar to vocals.
With a completely fresh approach, fuelled by the beginning of a new stage of change and challenge, they presented a live show with a more compact scheme, reinforcing their reggae-rock format.
More than two million records were sold and 1600 live shows performed, rocketing LOS PERICOS as one of the MOST IMPORTANT BANDS in the history of LATIN REGGAE/ROCK.
In August 2005 the band released its new album called "7" with performances across Latin America.

During May they closed the International Festival of Veracruz, and had a show for 50,000 in Caracas Venezuela.

Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Derroche en mi camino
Hoy te vuelvo a ver
Promesas sin sentido
Me han dejado cautivo
Ya lo se
Ya no pienso en las horas
No me apartes de nada
Que al final sabre
Solo espero el momento
Que me quemes por dentro
Calmaras mi sed
Besame
Solo un paso mas
Estamos distantes
Solo un poco mas
No pude olvidarte
Besame
These lyrics to Los Pericos's song Besame are about someone who has wasted a lot of time in their life, but now they are reunited with their lover and are asking them to kiss them. The singer mentions promises that were meaningless, perhaps referring to past lovers who made empty promises. However, now that they are with this current lover, they are willing to forget about time and anything else that may pull them apart. The singer expresses a desire to be burned from the inside out by the kiss, as if the fire from the passion of the kiss is what they need to quench their thirst.
The song then repeats the chorus, emphasizing the desire for a kiss as a way to forget the wasted time and to be fulfilled in the moment. Finally, the song ends with the singer asking for one more step towards the kiss, indicating a desire for a deeper connection.
Overall, the song is about the power of a kiss to bring two people together and forget about the past. It also highlights the idea that time is precious, and we should not waste it on empty promises or meaningless pursuits.
