Biography

From its beginnings, in August 1966 in a club in the San Telmo neighborhood, until the middle of 1970, the Walkers changed their style and members, to satisfy the needs of the record company. This was probably the most successful group after Los Gatos.

After appearing on the program La Escala Musical, producer Carlos Bayón hired them for their vocal qualities as second figures after Los Shakers.

It was an Argentine pop band from the 1960s strongly influenced by British and American rhythms. After two albums that mixed a handful of originals and a host of covers (including "Gloria," "The Letter," "Tobacco Road" and even Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey"). The Walkers rode the psychedelic tide and recorded what was generally considered their best work, 1969's Walking Up With The Walkers.

The first hit was La carta, a single from 1967 that sold 80,000 copies. It was followed by numerous singles, mostly foreign covers, such as Gloria y Agárrate (Both under the Music Hall label) and Llámame relámpago (by The Who), regular appearances on the TV show and three released LPs.

In March 1968, they present the theme Tamborín Verde; in April the second full-length, Jennifer Ecclés goes on sale on May 25 and in August they give their first recital at the Payró theater together with Los Gatos.

At the end of 1967, Roberto Antonio replaced Daniel Polak on drums. At the end of 1968, a Uruguayan guitarist nicknamed "Polo" replaced Rover and shortly after, Tata would leave the band and his replacement would be Machi Rufino, who years later would join Pappo's Blues and Invisible.

In 1968 they also performed in two recitals in Acassuso and toured the interior and bordering countries. They acted in two films: Say what they say, with Raphael, at the end of '67 and A boy like me, with Palito Ortega, in March '68.

For the third longplay they turned to their own compositions in Spanish, but they sold less than 1,000 copies. At the beginning of 1970 they recorded two songs by Litto Nebbia, Piensa en Mañana and Tiempo, which also failed.

In 1970 they performed one of their last concerts at the Maipo Theater.
