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.

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.

Hacé Lo Que Quieras
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
Ya no se cuanto te aguanta el corazon
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
Tu brillo puede ser insoportable
Why seguirte hasta el final no es saludable
Cada vez que te da el freak, quedas pegado ahi
Yo te digo que vas de mal en peor
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
Sos mas parecido a un duro maniqui
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
Tu brillo puede ser insoportable
Why seguirte hasta el final no es saludable
Cada vez que te da el freak, quedas pegado ahi
Rebotando en la vidriera
Ya perdiste la apuesta del dia de hoy
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
Ya no se como te aguanta el corazon
Hare lo que quieras, hare lo que quieras
The lyrics of the song Hacé Lo Que Quieras by Los Pericos express a sense of exhaustion and resignation towards a person who seems to be going through a rough time. The singer acknowledges that he doesn't know how long this person's low mood will last and promises to do whatever they want in order to support them. However, he also notes that this person's behavior can be difficult to handle - their "shine" is so bright that it becomes overwhelming and following them "until the end" is "unhealthy". The person's erratic behavior causes them to get stuck in one place, "bouncing off the storefront".
The singer emphasizes that this person's mood has been deteriorating, describing them as being "worse than ever" and resembling a "hard mannequin". He acknowledges that they are struggling to cope, noting that he doesn't know how much longer their heart will hold out. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer will do whatever this person wants, even if he doesn't understand their behavior or the reasons behind it.
