Los Brincos

Los Brincos are a Spanish rock band founded in 1963 in Madrid, which enjoyed great success in Spain and Latin America during the 1960s. After various line-up changes and stylistic developments, they broke up in 1971. Following a reunion in 2000, which ended in 2003 with the death of Fernando Arbex, the group disappeared again, before resuming performances with new members, led by Miguel Morales.

In their time they were known as the Spanish Beatles. Their image (at least in the early days), although inspired by British beat groups, also included idiosyncratic and more or less traditionally Spanish elements, such as Spanish capes or jingle bells.

Their single 'Borracho' broke a national record at the time, selling more than 100,000 copies in 1965.

By November 1971, Los Brincos had managed to chart in Spanish hit lists for 29 weeks with 'Flamenco' and for 25 weeks with 'Borracho' among the ten most-played songs nationally. Furthermore, 'Mejor' and 'Lola' also stand out among their hits, rising to number one on Spanish sales charts. Likewise, 'Lola' and 'Un sorbito de champagne' reached number one on Los 40 Principales.
