Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, the legendary Argentinian band known for their fusion of rock, ska, reggae, and punk, is celebrating over 40 years of performing with a vibrant tour across Latin America and the United States. The band, led by Vicentico and Sr. Flavio, recently set a record by drawing a crowd of 300,000 people for a free show at Mexico City's Zócalo, a historic and symbolic venue. Despite the band members' average age of 61, they continue to perform with an 'unusual vitality' and have even welcomed the next generation, with Vicentico's and Sr. Flavio's sons joining the group.

What they’re saying

“We're 61 and still performing with an unusual vitality for us. We have to be very grateful for that.”

— Flavio Cianciarulo, Bassist and Songwriter, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

“The first word that comes to mind about that night is 'magical.' To gather such a large crowd, under any circumstance, can get out of hand for anyone, and honestly, the first thing I want to highlight is the pride, respect and admiration I have for the Mexican people who, I insist, came to the concert, danced and sang, and left in the most peaceful way possible.”

— Flavio Cianciarulo, Bassist and Songwriter, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

“It's a place full of energy. It's incredible that this place, even before the world was the world, was already there, and because of that, it began to draw people. Before, it might have been the Olmecs, or the Chichimecas, or who knows who; then it was the Aztecs. I have no words to describe how important it is, and again, all humans gathered there for some kind of energetic, magnetic reason that surpasses all of us.”

— Flavio Cianciarulo, Bassist and Songwriter, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
