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.

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.

Y que significa Big Yuyo, aquí hay algunas probabilidades:
+ Una gran bola de matas verdes
+ Una gran selva tropical
+ Un gran monstruo llamada Yuyo
+ Una especie de apodo al productor del álbum?
+ Un plato isleño tipo ensalada
+ Las siglas de los miembros de Pericos
+ Ciudad en Argentina
+ Un término raro para describir su fusión de reggae y rock
+ Un barco
+ Un instrumento musical
+ Un río
+ Un perico (irónico)
+ Un nombre originario de Africa, para describir el clima de una selva tropical
+ Yuyo es Tambor en Guayaguiní, Chinguilingui, Juamishi, Mustafí y big Yuyo= Gran Tambor
+ Expresión popular argentina
Marquen sus votos y los tendré anotados.
El mejor disco inicial de una banda argentina es este con obras maestras como Waiting y Me Late.
Diría que Pampas Reggae lo supera, pero este es el más apegado al Reggae y lenguaje en inglés, “me hablar inglés, not fake pronunciation”. Es además el mas caribeño, no se lo que digo, no los he escuchado todos pero es un referente de la cultura reggae en Sudamérica. Ni los Cadillacs se atrevieron a experimentar así, Long Life to Pericos! They are in our hearts, souls and minds! Ojalá saquen una colaboración con un cantante de reggaetón como Bad Bunny y así le enseñan lo que es la música de verdad y cómo se ejecuta, estiliza, auto tunea, toca y más que nada, como se canta. Bob Marley is dead. These guys revived the reggae! Son los reyes del reggae actual. Perdón si exagero, es que no van a encontrar mejor reggae sino Inner Circle y The Parrots, ok...mal chiste. The Parrots = Pericos. Es como que pusiera a Guns N’ Roses pistolas y rosas o a Calle 13 “13th Street “” jajajajajajaja. XDXD. Círculo de Inersia. Roberto Marley. Los grandes Pericos verdes comiendo big Yuyo.
WHAT IS BIG YUYO?
Eu preciso de saber!
Y que es Guavaberry. Ah, dudoso vocabulario Afro-caribeño. Siempre pone las preguntas en nosotros.
Ah y tienen una canción con los de magic! Llamada Waiting que salió en este disco pero es la colaboración en concierto, que por cierto esta fino.
Esto es mejor que Bad bunny, que el reggaetón NO. Hay reggaetón bueno. Es mejor que bad bunny, es mejor que bad bunny, es mejor que bad bunny.
Tengo un juego: Repite tres veces bad bunny y si no sientes nada, pierdes.
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny
Gané sentí pena.
YHLQMDLG NO ES COMPOSICIÓN NI REGGAETÓN EXPERIMENTAL, ES MÚSICA SIN IMAGEN Y USARON A UN NIÑO POR PUBLICIDAD. EN ESTE ÁLBUM DE PERICOS SE NOTA EL ESFUERZO QUE LE PUSIERON AL COVER ART CON ILUMINACIÓN FRESCO Y GRAN BORDEADO NEGRO CON COLORES INTERNOS TROPICALES. BUMMMMMMM... EL COMENTARIO MÁS LARGO.
DADDY YANKEE CANTA BIEN, PERO NO MUERO POR IR A UN CONCIERTO EN COMPARACIÓN CON OÍR ESTE ÁLBUM 24/7.
Ya, es el mejor de la historia. Bueno no, pero es lo que necesitamos.
Jamaica Ragamuffin, Jamaica Blood y Jamaica Humor. Maluma 7DJ no es lo más importante.
Psdt: enciérrate en tu cuarto y haz una mezcla del disco con los de bob Marley, queda mejor que la carrera entera de Justin Bieber.
Dejen vivir el reggae.
Morira en 59 años y no nos daremos cuenta
Dejen que los Pericos hablen y hablen, esa es la cosa,
dejen vivir estos discos.
Es lo único bueno que dan.
Sus personalidades son cara amarga, pero tienen felicidad al cantar.
Y por último, su voz me recuerda a los falsettos de Miranda! y Lenny Kravitz.
@rominacarmonanunez9614
