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.

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 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.

Todos Lo Hacen
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si todos lo hacen ¿Por qué yo no?
Soy parte de un juego que nadie inventó
Perdón, perdón, perdón ¿Qué culpa tengo yo?
Perdón, perdón, perdón si todos lo hacen
Me lavo las manos, las manos
Primero estoy yo
Ah, ah, ah perdón, perdón, perdón
¿Qué culpa tengo yo? Perdón, perdón, perdón
Si todos lo hacen
Y no te hago la fila, no soy un perdedor
Voy por la banquina, no me importa quién sos
No pido permiso, me aprovecho de vos
Soy el que te empuja a perder la razón
Voy quedando solo a la cima voy
Los miro de arriba y arriba no hay
Lugar para dos
Ah, ah, ah perdón, perdón, perdón
¿Qué culpa tengo yo? Perdón, perdón, perdón
Si todos lo hacen
Perdón, perdón, perdón ¿Qué culpa tengo yo?
Perdón, perdón, perdón si todos lo hacen
Perdón, perdón, perdón ¿Qué culpa tengo yo?
Perdón, perdón, perdón si todos lo hacen
The lyrics of Los Pericos's song "Todos Lo Hacen" explore the theme of conformity and the desire to fit in. The singer questions why they should not do something that everyone else is doing. They feel like they are part of a game that no one invented, suggesting that societal norms and expectations dictate their actions. The repeated apologies throughout the song highlight a sense of guilt and self-doubt for not conforming to the same behaviors as others. The singer confesses to disregarding rules and taking advantage of others, emphasizing their disregard for authority and their own selfishness. They assert their individuality and superiority, looking down on those who conform and implying that there is no room for anyone else at the top. Ultimately, the song portrays the internal struggle between the pressure to conform and the desire to assert one's own identity.

Esta canción es mi Himno..
Viaje a Lima Perú para verlos tocar.. Y mas por esta canción.. Viaje mas de 40 horas en bus. Todo lindo la ida de regreso me robaron el celular en el Callao, el bus q venía era una porquería,. Tanto así q tuvieron q cambiar de bus en Chimbote, después un trámite en esa frontera para poder salir de Perú a Ecuador.. Un venezolano me quiso ver la cara de tonto. Pero al final valio la pena.. Cada maldito segundo..
Hard Time... Tiempos difíciles. 💙👍
