Los Papulosos Cadillacs, that legendary Argentinian band, just hit over 40 years strong and they're still packing stadiums across Latin America and the US. Formed back in 1984 in Buenos Aires, they're blending rock, ska, reggae, and punk like no one else, dropping classics like Matador and Maal Biccio to new fans. These guys are averaging 61 years old, with core members like Lucinico on vocals, Sergio Rotman on sacks, and others keeping that line energy on, stage. Basis Cienciarulo says they're grateful for the vitality, and get this, his son Astor handles bass and drums while Vicenteco's son Florian rips. Guitar, bringing fresh fire to the mix. Fans are buzzing over their billboard knot as number four on the top 50 Latin rock bands list ever. That recognition hits hard after decades of influence, even if char peaks like their top 10 Latin pop album in 2009 weren't constant.
