Los Pericos is an Argentine rock band. The band has achieved international acclaim, particularly in South America.
Los Pericos, Argentina's first reggae rock band, formed in 1986 from a group of friends who used to get together to create music.
El Ritual De La Banana, their first album, was published in 1988 and became the best-selling album of the year, selling 180 thousand copies and earning triple platinum status.
They recorded King Kong, which was produced by Herbert Vianna, a year later (leadman and songwriter of the brazilian group Paralamas Do Sucesso). They followed up with the release of Maxi Anfitreu, a vinyl disc.
When the band was featured on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations in 2006, it gained a lot of attention in North America.
