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 same year LOS PERICOS were invited to participate in the 6th INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL REGGAE SUNSPLASH Edition, taking place annually in JAMAICA.
In 1994 they performed again in the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL REGGAE SUNSPLASH and closed the WORLD BEAT NIGHT. Rita Marley invited them to the TUFF GONG RECORDS studios, where BOB MARLEY used to record.
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.
In March 1997, PERICOS was the only Latin America band invited to participate in the reggae tribute to The Police and recorded, together with STEWART COPELAND: DARKNESS, included in Regatta Mondatta album. They also participated in the latin tribute to The Police: Outlandos D´America.

By mid July they started recording their next album at their own studio, ROBLEDO SOUND MACHINE. They travelled again to Caracas, but this time to the 50th anniversary celebration of the UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS DECLARATION (at La Carlota Airport), organised by AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL.
On 27th of November 1998, they released MYSTIC LOVE and the videoclip of its first cut, SIN CADENAS.
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 November they started the 5th Mystic Love Tour including the cities of NEW JERSEY, QUEENS, MANHATTAN and MONTREAL. That was the first time an Argentinean band reached this Canadian City and obtained stunning reviews in TORONTO, where they presented a very hot show in spite of low temperature.
At the beginning of 2000, LOS PERICOS gave a show at RIVER PLATE STADIUM celebrating THE NEW MILENIUM for an audience of 75,000 people.
LOS PERICOS began mixing a new album, a tribute to the 1008 shows performed until such time, called: 1000 VIVOS.
During 2001 they continued with their shows across the continent and were invited to close the 2001 VIVE LATINO edition.
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.
In 2006 the band went on one of its most important tours. They performed in México, Uruguay, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, USA, Venezuela, Canadá, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Salvador and Perú; more than 140 shows in a year.

In April they returned to Mexico for the Reggae Music Fest featuring Pato Banton in their set. During May they closed the International Festival of Veracruz, and had a show for 50,000 in Caracas Venezuela.
PERICOS is currently working on new material to be released this November.

Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ven, ven ven, si es la leyenda aquí
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, yo te lo digo así
Cómo te digo que no me dejas pensar
Cómo te digo que no puedo acercarme
Cómo te digo ya no puedo soportar
Cómo te digo que me hace falta un calmante
Ven, ven ven pura adrenalina!
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, que aquí se puede ver
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
Como te digo mami, a mí me pone así
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
La soberana amanda?, a mí me deja así
Caliente, caliente, caliente
Y digo
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, si es la leyenda aquí
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, yo te lo digo así
Esta noche a mí me fue como la mona
Lo que te digo, lo digo y no es broma
Traje de oro y un humor que me provoca
Que te sacude y te hace agua en la boca
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven pura adrenalina!
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, aquí la puedes ver
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
Como te digo mami, a mí me pone así
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
La soberana amanda?, a mí me deja así
Caliente, caliente, caliente
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, si es la leyenda aquí
Ven, ven, cómo mueve la patita
Ven, ven ven, yo te lo digo así
Cómo te digo que no me dejas pensar
Cómo te digo que no puedo acercarme
Cómo te digo ya no puedo soportar
Cómo te digo me hace falta un calmante
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
Como te digo mami, a mí me pone así
Cómo te digo, cómo te digo
La soberana amanda?, a mí me deja así
Caliente, caliente, caliente
In Los Pericos's song "Caliente," the singer is captivated by a woman's seductive and alluring movements - specifically the way she moves her legs. Despite struggling to focus due to his attraction to her, he cannot resist watching her dance. He is overwhelmed by the adrenaline rush she gives him and compares this sensation to the effects of a drug. The song includes repetitive lines and vibrant instrumentals that create a lively and energetic vibe.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats "Cómo te digo," which means "How do I tell you" in Spanish. This phrase represents his inability to fully express his feelings towards the woman's movements. It's like he's at a loss for words, trying to find the right way to describe the effect she's having on him. The phrase "Caliente" is also repeated regularly, meaning "hot" or "passionate." It's a perfect description of the energy and vibe that the woman's "patita" or leg movements are creating.
In summary, "Caliente" is a lively and upbeat song about a woman's seductive dance that the singer cannot resist. Through the use of repetitive and passionate lyrics, the song's meaning centers on the irresistible pull of the woman's movements and the intense feelings they evoke.
