Los Locos del Ritmo are pioneers of Mexican rock and roll, formed in 1958 and widely regarded as one of the first rock bands in Latin America. Inspired by early American rock icons like Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, they brought the sound of the 1950s to Spanish-speaking audiences with youthful energy and authentic spirit. Their hits helped define the early rock era in Mexico, earning them a lasting legacy as trailblazers who bridged global rock rhythms with local culture.
