**Loud Jets** is a Mexican Rock 'N Roll band formed in Mexico City in 1959, recognized as pioneers of the first wave of Rock sung in Spanish. During this era, it was common to translate popular rock 'n roll songs into Spanish. The band gained popularity through their participation in a contest hosted by a local radio station and began recording in 1960. The original line-up consisted of Eduardo Munguia Castello (guitar and vocals), Alejandro Munguia Castello (guitar and vocals), Francisco Gastellum Flores (bass), Alfredo García Pérez (saxophone), and Sergio Balderas Crespo (drums). Guitarist Victor Constantino was also part of the band but left shortly after to join Los Playboys as a vocalist and guitar player. On March 31, 1962, Loud Jets embarked on an extensive tour across Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean and several cities in the USA. They appeared on popular shows alongside notable artists such as Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson, Pat Boone, Sammy Davis Jr., Maurice Chevalier, Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, and Tom Jones. During this time, they recorded for various labels, occasionally using alternate names like The Jumping Beans, The Mexican Jets, and Los Loud Jets. After a long hiatus, the band made their definitive return to Mexico in 1979 and remains active today.
