== History ==

== History ==

The band's origins can be traced to 1988 when a bunch of friends from different cities decided to try playing music. They began doing so in the pubs of the western suburbs of [[Buenos Aires]], a similar beginning as many other suburban rock bands. In 1991, they headed to Europe to participate in an [[anti-racist]] music festival in [[France]], where they played with groups from [[Mali]], [[Burkina Faso]], [[Cuba]], and [[Spain]].
