Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
With LFC leading the charge by touring in front of an ever growing U.S. audiences (playing many cities that had never before hosted a Latin Rock show), Rock en Espaņol became a fast growing musical movement in America, resulting in the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) creating a new category for the genre. When the first Grammy for "Best Latin Rock/Alternative Record" was presented in March '98, it seemed appropriate that the award honored "LFC" genre-bending masterpiece Fabulosos Calavera, which the Los Angeles Times called "...the Sgt. Pepper of the Rock en Espanol movement," while Spin suggested the album "May be the future of rock 'n' roll." The awarding of the Grammy and the wealth of critical praise for Fabulosos Calavera resulted in "LFC" becoming the first Latin Rock band to appear on national late-night TV in the U.S. LFC recently won another MTV Music Award and were nominated for two Latin Grammys. Recently, the band celebrated its 15th year annivesary by hosting a series of sold out stadium shows in Buenos Aires that were recorded for a live album. This same show will now be toured around the world. 15 years of history and 15 years of hits!
