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.

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.

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 ↴
entre las sombras
tu presencia es una red
que aliviana la caida
solo tus ojos me ven.
Siempre estas cerca de mi
Siempre estas cerca de mi.
Otro impacto en otro dia
why la misma tentacion
no es una historia dormida
why el vencido no soy yo.
Animame que estoy de pie, exhausto...
dale fuerzas a mis pasos, sonrie...
mira como brilla el sol, afuera...
un deseo
para volverte a ver....
Vamos quebrando las horas
en un tibio amanecer.
tengo el corazon desierto
why a tu lado sembrare.
Siempre estas cerca de mi
Siempre estas cerca de mi.
Animame que estoy de pie, exhausto...
dale fuerzas a mis pasos, sonrie....
mira como brilla el sol, afuera...
un deseo
para volverte a ver...
Cuando emerjo
entre las sombras

solo tus ojos me ven.
Siempre estas cerca de mi
Siempre estas cerca de mi.
Otro impacto en otro día
y la misma tentación
no es una historia dormida
y el vencido no soy yo.
Anímame que estoy de pie, exhausto...
dale fuerzas a mis pasos, sonrie...
mira como brilla el sol, afuera...
un deseo
para volverte a ver....
Vamos quebrando las horas
en un tibio amanecer.
tengo el corazon desierto

Siempre estas cerca de mi
Siempre estas cerca de mi.
Anímame que estoy de pie, exhausto...
dale fuerzas a mis pasos, sonríe....
mira como brilla el sol, afuera...
un deseo
para volverte a ver...
Cuando emerjo
entre las sombras
tu presencia es una red

solo tus ojos me ven
Siempre estas cerca de mi
Siempre estas cerca de mi.

BAHIANO LE DABA UN TOQUE MUY PARTICULAR A ESTA GRAN BANDA QUE AUNQUE SIGUE EN LAS TOCADAS YA NO NO SUENA IGUAL. PERICOS 4 EVER!!!
@RaulRuloC
David Valladares asi es y ni bahiano solista suena igual
@eliudramirez1303
The Jaguar ya lo escuche solista si suena mejor
@pabloramos1609
Con todo respeto, Bahiano le daba un toque? Bahiano era Pericos, porque lo que le da el toque a las bandas de rock es la voz y el carisma, porque cualquiera puede tocar instrumentos y hacer rock, es muy sencillo, así que el mayor mérito es de Bahiano pero lejoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos
@mythundercat7
Es inconfundible la voz del Bahiano, se extraña de verdad!!!
