Buitres

Rising out of the ashes of Pando-based punk group Los Estómagos following its 1989 split, Uruguay’s Buitres Después de la Una emerged as the conception of former band members Gabriel Peluffo (vocals) and Gustavo Parodi (guitar), who recruited original drummer Marcelo Lasso and bassist José Rambao to complete the new quartet. Already well-acquainted with one another’s working practices, they promptly completed a self-titled debut album in Montevideo, which was released via Orfeo in March 1990. Taking a different direction to their past oeuvre, the LP drew on a wealth of influences from classic ‘50s rock, and even included a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Heartbreak Hotel”. After following it up with a second LP, La Bruja, the group repackaged both albums into a two-CD anthology, which soon achieved gold certification in their home country. Their third LP, Maraviya, proved even more popular, picking up another gold plaque and yielding hits in “Ojos rojos” and “No es una pena” among other songs. Maintaining a prolific output in the following years, the group later underwent lineup and label changes in the late ‘90s amidst the acquisition of Orfeo by EMI. Finding themselves at the height of their stardom in the early 21st century, they earned a prestigious Iris Prize for 2001’s Buena Suerte… Hasta Siempre, and enjoyed instant success with 2003’s politically charged Mientras, which went gold in Uruguay within three weeks of its release and produced several smash hits including the hugely popular “Besos”. The LP later achieved platinum certification and scooped up a whopping three Graffiti Awards. Continuing to release vast amounts of new material into the 2010s, the Buitres went triple platinum with their 2012 live album, Las canciones son Verdad, and returned in 2019 with a new studio album entitled Mecánica Popular.
