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.

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.

Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dibujar mi equipo y que se haga realidad
No estar ciego para ver lo bueno
Y que no me importe si es perfecto.
Quiero resetear mi cabeza
Empezar a ver lo que sea sin filtrar
Disfrutar como tarde de viernes
Domador de los sueños
Donde el sol no tiene dueño
En los bares del cielo
Donde todo lo que se da se torna un juego.
Quiero encontrar lo que quiera
Saltar mis ideas y poder ver mas allá
Dar por terminado hoy lo viejo
Sentir todo el tiempo un primer beso.
Domador de los sueños
Donde el sol no tiene dueño
En los bares del cielo
Donde todo lo que se da se torna un juego.
Piedra libre a los deseos
Y ya nunca despertar
Encontrarte hoy de nuevo
Y reelegirte mil y una vez mas .
Domador de los sueños
Donde el sol no tiene dueño
En los bares del cielo
Donde todo lo que se da se torna un juego
In Los Pericos's song "Pianito," the lyrics capture the desire for simplicity and happiness in life. The singer expresses a longing to create something simple and have it come to life, without worrying about perfection. They also want to reset their mind and see the world without any filters, enjoying life like a late Friday night and being grateful for what they have.
The lyrics follow a theme of dreaming and imagination, with references made to a dream world where there are no limitations, and everything is turned into a playful game. The singer hopes to find something they are looking for, to explore their ideas and go beyond what is already known. They express a desire to leave the past in the past and live each moment like it's the first kiss all over again. Ultimately, the lyrics evoke a sense of liberation, freeing oneself to follow their desires and not wanting to wake up from the dream.

Es curioso ver a tallarita, es decir, la canción no lleva vientos pero aparece como uno más de la banda. Da gusto pues a mi parecer aportó bastante a los pericos, me toco escucharlo en vivo y sonaba de lujo 😌

Gran persona, para mí, un Perico más

Si tienen a Pericos se merecen la copa y mucho más.

De las pocas canciones realmente buenas que sacaron después de Bahiano, con un estilo renovado, original y con su sello característico. Ya después se inclinaron mas hacia el rock pop y ya no mr latieron mucho, pero no dejan de ser los irónicos del reggae en español.

Ojalá esta canción no terminara.
