Los Auténticos Decadentes

Los Auténticos Decadentes (Spanish for "The Authentic Decadents") is an Argentine band that mixes ska with Latin American rhythms. The band was formed around 1986 by Cucho and Nito, who invited Gastón to join them. Their first hit was Veni Raquel, which set the tone for their later lyrics' irreverence and ironic humor. Many of their songs are classic anthems of Argentinian nightlife, such as Corazón, Loco (Tu Forma de Ser), Entregá el Marrón, La Guitarra, Los Piratas, and El Murguero. For some of their hit songs and videos, the Decandentes have engaged many Argentine icons such as former soccer referee Guillermo Nimo and the later candombe singer Alberto Castillo. They are popular with many generations as they draw from traditions such as canzonetta, murga bands, and cantina songs. Read more on Last.fm.
