Biography
Formed in 1958 as Los Blue Kings in Paysandú, Uruguay, Los Iracundos officially debuted in 1961, initially inspired by American rock and roll before embracing a more melodic and romantic style as part of the Latin American ânueva ola.â After signing with RCA Victor in Argentina and adopting their iconic name in 1964, they released their debut album Stop, marking the beginning of a prolific and widely successful recording career. Throughout the 1960s, they became regional icons, appearing in films, performing across the Americas and Europe, and earning a gold record in Argentina after selling over 1 million albums. Their signature hit âPuerto Montt,â released in 1968, cemented their legacy and helped define their golden era, alongside other staples like âEs la lluvia que caeâ and âVa cayendo una lágrima.â The 1970s and 1980s saw continued success with albums such as Te lo pido de rodillas, Tormenta de verano and Cuarenta grados, while also venturing into film soundtracks and Portuguese-language recordings for the Brazilian market. After the death of lead singer and principal songwriter Eduardo Franco in 1989, the band continued with new vocalists, releasing Iracundos '90 and Con la misma moneda using Eduardo Francoâs unreleased compositions. Despite internal splits and legal battles over the band name, Los Iracundos remained active into the 21st century, performing across Latin America and Europe. Following the deaths of original members Leonardo Franco (2015) and Juan Carlos Velázquez (2022), the group is now led by Velázquezâs son Sebastián, who continues to safeguard the legacy of one of Latin Americaâs most enduring pop groups.
