Los del Fuego was founded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 4â¯Mayâ¯1984 by vocalist Juanâ¯Carlosâ¯Mascheroni, guitarist Julioâ¯âMomochoââ¯Peralta, bassist Julioâ¯âMuertoââ¯Peralta, and timbalero Sergioâ¯Ricardoâ¯âElâ¯Patoââ¯Torres. The groupâs early background was rooted in cumbia santafesina, with Mascheroni previously recording two albums with Losâ¯delâ¯BohÃo in 1982 and 1983. Their breakthrough came with the 1984 debut album Hayâ¯Queâ¯Lucharâ¯paraâ¯Seguir, which established their presence in the Argentine cumbia scene. Over the next decade, Losâ¯delâ¯Fuego released a steady stream of albums-Queâ¯Noâ¯Seâ¯Rompaâ¯laâ¯Noche (1985), Sobreviviendo (1986), Bebeâ¯enâ¯Miâ¯Cántaro (1987), Razónâ¯deâ¯Vivir (1987), Coraje!â¯Coraje! (1988), Unaâ¯Sobredosisâ¯deâ¯Amor (1989), and Ardiendo (1990)-and performed extensively across the country, including a notable 2012 Lunaâ¯Park appearance. The lineup fluctuated, with the Morro brothers and other musicians joining and leaving, but Mascheroni remained the bandâs frontman. In 2019, Mascheroni suffered a fatal cardiac arrest during a private show, leading to the posthumous digital release Porâ¯Siempre (2019). The group continued with new vocalist Cristianâ¯RamÃrez, releasing new material such as Vamosâ¯aâ¯Seguir⦠(2020) and maintaining their legacy in Argentine cumbia.
