16 October LOS PIOJOS Argentina's most famous band will take the stage at the Alcatraz, Milan for an exclusive concert. Eagerly awaited by the Argentine community, which sees in them authentic idols, this unique date represents a great opportunity for the Italian public to get to know a line-up capable of filling stadiums on the other side of the ocean.
In addition to the musical value, there is also a humanitarian one: in fact, part of the proceeds will be donated to the PUPI Onlus Foundation(www.fundacionpupi.org), already active for years in Italy thanks to the interest of Argentine citizens living in our country such as Javier Zanettiwhich works to protect the right to livelihood and education of Argentinean children and families in prohibitive social conditions.
Towards the end of the 1980s, the city of Buenos Aires saw the birth of the LOS PIOJOSa rock band that was about to change the music of an entire country.
LOS PIOJOS started out under the influence of international rock classics and later created their own style, which remains a trademark to this day: a raw rock sound with overtones of tango and candombe, all typical Rio de la Plata styles.
Experience and the support of the public meant that the band began an unrestrained growth. By the mid-1990s they were already appearing on the stages 'that counted' in Argentine rock, and by the end of that decade they were pleasantly forced to perform in football stadiums in order to satisfy such a large number of fans who wanted to hear them live.
Today, after nine records produced independently by EL FAROLITO DISCOS (with more than 1,000,000 pairs sold), LOS PIOJOS firmly occupy the podium of the most popular groups.
Their most important show in November 2003 at the River Plate stadium, where 80,000 people gathered in one evening. In 2004 and 2005 they started a big tour all over Argentina -which ended with two dates in the mythical Bombonera, Boca Jrs.stadium- and then for the third time in Europe and for the fourth time in the United States, where they played in Miami, New York, San Diego and Los Angeles. In 2006 their first DVD was released and in 2007 their second. The same year they recorded their new CD 'Civilizaciòn' (elected by the public and the press as the best of the year, with six nominations for the 'Gardel' award), which in a few weeks went double platinum and took them once again to play throughout Argentina and for the fourth time to Mexico. In addition, EL FAROLITO DISCOS (Manu Chao among its other artists) re-released the band's first four albums (selling like hotcakes in all record shops).
