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.
2007 starts with the Argentinean summer tour , performing in this country’s most popular vacation destinations. 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.

Sin cadenas sobre los pies
me puse a andar
hare tiempo quise encontrar
el camino
Nada escapá, nada muere,
Nada escapá, nada muere
Nadie olvida, eso lo sé
Navegante sin rumbo fui
why naufragué
Cada calle, cada rincón
Fui conociendo.
why he perdido, he ganado
why he sabido defenderme bien.
why he perdido, he ganado
why he sabido defenderme bien.
Contengo la respiración
Contengo la respiración
Es un día tan claro, tan claro
En busca de historias felices
Felices serán el día en que pise firme.
Sol mi luz el norte why el sur
Mi gran hogar
Soy el margen de este lugar,
Un mapa ardiente.
Nada escapá, nada muere
Nadie olvida,eso lo sé.
Nada escapá, nada muere,
Nadie olvida, eso lo sé
Bajo un árbol vi atardecer
why fui feliz
A escondidas te vi llorar
Se fue tu vida.
Contengo la respiración
Es un día tan claro, tan claro
En busca de historias felices
Felices serán el día en que pise firme.
Sin cadenas sobre los pies
Me puse a andar
hare tiempo quise encontrar mi destino.

Nada escapá, nada muere

The lyrics to Los Pericos’s song “Sin Cadenas” discuss the theme of freedom and self-discovery. The singer of the song is someone who has freed themselves from the chains that were holding them back and is now walking freely towards their destiny. The opening lines, “Sin cadenas sobre los pies me puse a andar, hace tiempo quise encontrar el camino” (Without chains on my feet, I started to walk, long ago I wanted to find my way) speaks to the idea of breaking free from the constraints of society or difficult situations and seeking a new path. The song goes on to describe the journey that the singer embarks upon, sailing without direction and wandering through streets and alleys, both losing and gaining different things along the way.
The chorus repeats the message that nothing truly escapes or dies, and nobody forgets, implying that everything experienced and learned along the way becomes a part of the person and cannot be erased. The line “Contengo la respiración” spoken multiple times is a reflection of the singer’s trepidation and anticipation for what lies ahead, yet with each step, there is an increasing belief in finding happiness and contentment when they finally arrive.
Overall, “Sin Cadenas” is an inspirational song that discusses the idea of breaking free from limitations and taking control over one's own destiny. Through the use of metaphor and imagery, the lyrics convey a message that growth and fulfillment are possible for anyone who sets out to find it.

Esa canción me llega a lo más profundo de mi alma. Es tremendo el dolor que me produce porque era la canción predilecta de mi hijo Guillermo, hace siete años que el se fue sin cadenas sobre los pies y me dejó a mí undida en la tristeza. Busco escucharla como si pudiera conectarme con él . Te espero Guille, Sin Cadenas.
@cristiane.castro6624
Esta canción es vida!!
Recuerda navegante sin rumbo, nada escapa, nada muere, nadie olvida. Ánimo que Guille te quiere ver feliz ❤
@cristiancedeno976
Adelante, Guille te querría ver feliz
@juanconde3999
Lo siento mucho por tu pérdida corazón. Espero que desde arriba Guille te vea disfrutando la vida bajo su nombre.
@Ainescobar
La voz y el toque que le daba Bahiano a esas canciones era incomparable pero aqui se demuestra que no es solo una buena voz quien hace una banda exitosa, sino la calidad de sus musicos. Que delicia es escuchar a esta banda
@juanantonioortega1084
Muy buena respuesta idolo
@djjuliocdelarosa3394
Completamente de acuerdo. Saludos.
@GyanKubuZ
pero no hay nada como Bahiano! otra cosa seria
@JoseLopez-uu7ig
Los dos son buenos y distintos. Pero tremenda la calidad de todos los musicos y tremendo sonido
@facundoferreyra2459
