Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs started playing in 1984, in Buenos Aires, with four guys who got together because of their love for music. They didn't know much about music, but they started experimenting. At that time, they were influenced by ska bands from England, like Madness or The Specials, and they had an idea of how that music sounded. They got into an underground scene, with few resources, but with a lot of energy.

The band's name came from a meeting at one of the guys' house, with the advice of their manager, Poppy Manzanedo. They decided to call them Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, in honor of a car that the bassist, Flavio Cianciarulo, had. The logo was designed by Naco Goldfinger, with a hat and a black and white band. That was the style they wanted: direct, colorful, and with a touch of humor.

Biography

Their first album was called Bares y fondas, and they recorded it in 1986. They did it in a disco, with rehearsals in places like Fire, in front of River Plate stadium. Although the press didn't receive them well, the album opened the door to a fanbase that started following them. Songs like "Yo quiero morirme acá" or "Basta de llamarme así" became references, although the critics pointed out their lack of experience and the content of their lyrics.

Over time, the band grew, changed members, and expanded throughout Latin America, the United States, and Europe. In 2016 they released La salvación de Solo y Juan, and to promote it they did tours around the world. They always kept their main vocalists, Vicentico and Flavio, who were the base of their sound. The band's story wasn't easy, but it ended up being a journey of a lot of music and a lot of passion.
