Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are a Latin-rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Formed in 1985, they released their first album, Bares y Fondas (Bars and
Boardinghouses) in 1986. Since then they have released fourteen more
albums.
The band's sound is a mix of rock, ska, jazz, salsa, folk, rap and big
band. The lineup has changed throughout the years, but the core members
have always been the co-founders: singer Gabriel Fernandez Capello (known
as Vicentico) and bassist Flavio Cianciarulo (known as Sr. Flavio).
Vicentico and Sr. Flavio have done the majority of the songwriting and
lyrics as well.
The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Mick Jones,
Debbie Harry, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV
Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single "El Matador", in what
probably was the peak of popularity of the band. The song made an
appearance on the soundtracks for the movies Grosse Pointe Blank and The
Ma
