  Peruvian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their music was a fusion of psychedelic rock, garage rock and surf; they were followed by bands like Los Yorks and Los Jaguares, Los Silvertons, The Belkings, Los Doltons, Los Shain and finally Traffic Sound (the latter the first Peruvian supergroup, merging the core players from both Los Hang Ten`s and Los Mads).
During the military dictatorship of the late 60s and 70s, rock was outcast as an alienating phenomenon by the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado in various ways: banning concerts in key venues, banning the import of "alienating and Yankee" American rock music, and even banning a highly anticipated Carlos Santana concert.
During the late 70s and early 80s, rock was confined to the underground; with no radio and very few rock LPs to import, the current state of rock music, and the deep crisis that the country was suffering, Peruvian rockers looked for a way to channel their frustrations.

 The Anniston Star - Mexican rock sensation sets sights on the States
Jaguares might be the biggest rock band you’ve never heard — or understood, if you typically take your rock en Ingles.
Jaguares (Spanish for, duh, jaguars) are not alone in that department.
Jaguares’ sound — a VH1-friendly, melodic brand of guitar rock with acoustic touches — is almost enough to propel the trio, which plays live as a five-piece.

According to band leader Saúl Hernández, the album title is an analogy of the current state of affairs in Mexico and on a larger scale, of all humanity.
Jaguares arose from Caifanes, Hernández and André's former band and the most successful Mexican rock band from the late 1980s.
Jaguares was formed in 1995 and their first album was titled "El equilibrio de los jaguares" (The Balance of the Jaguars).

 Jaguares sharpens its political claws
The political nature of Jaguares' new album, "Cronicas de un Laberinto" ("Chronicles From a Labyrinth"), was evident last month when the acclaimed Mexican rock band launched its new tour in Ciudad Juarez, in conjunction with an Amnesty International campaign called Justice for the Women of Juarez.
Hernandez was a pioneering figure in the rock en Espanol movement as co-founder of the rock band Caifanes in the mid-'80s.
Rock en Espanol began to stir in the late '60s when bands in Spain, Argentina and Mexico infused dominant American and British rock styles with indigenous elements and, more important, singing in Spanish, not English.

 CNN.com - Jaguares' Latin rock uprising - Jan. 3, 2003
For members of the veteran Mexican rock group Jaguares (pronounced Huh-WAR-es), the road to commercial success in the United States has been a long and sometimes rocky one that has required determination and faith.
Despite receiving little support from U.S. radio stations, the band is building a growing fan base north of the Mexican border, primarily on the strength of their impassioned live performances.
The most popular Latin rock bands are still limited to relatively small tour schedules, Burr says, that only reach cities with large Latino populations.

The band includes English translations of its lyrics with its new album, Cronicas de un Laberinto, which allows non-Spanish-speaking fans to really understand the issues Hernandez is writing about.
Rock fans who might like Jaguares write them off as rock-en-Español, and Hispanic radio here is often geared toward hip-hop and urban sounds.
Cronicas is the band's first disc in three years and marks a shift in direction, producing its catchiest album yet.

 miaminewtimes.com | | Catch It Live! | Jaguares | 2001-11-29
The modern history of Mexican rock has two eras: before and after “La Negra Tomasa,” the cumbia-rock cover immortalized on the self-titled 1994 album from Caifanes, the most important Mexican band of the late Eighties and the group that spearheaded the rock mexicano renaissance.
Hernandez and the band followed that with Bajo el Azul de Tu Misterio, a Latin Grammy-nominated double CD (one live, one studio) that included a new guitarist: Cesar "Vampiro" Lopez, former guitarist for Maná (the gig was a dream come true for Vampiro, who hated Maná's soft pop).
Yes, Jaguares can mix, but in the end, this is an electric band, one that will appeal to the dark, vampire-looking Goths out there (at least, the ones who still want to live).

 MetroActive Music | Jaguares
IN AMERICA, ROCK and ROLL was going through the big hair, flashy guitars, leather pants phase 10 years ago when a young group of Mexicanos named Caifanes scored a minor hit with "La Negra Tomasa" in their native Mexico.
UNTIL CAIFANES, rock and roll in Mexico was strictly an underground phenomenon, a radical style of music that had been repressed ever since massive student protests resulted in hundreds of deaths at the hands of the government in 1968.
The difference, though, between American rock superstardom and Jaguares' superstardom is the latter tends to be less intent on proving a rebellious, balls-to-the-wall image.

Jaguares new album (their seventh overall), Cuando la Sangre Galopa (“When blood gallops”) is a landmark album by a legendary band whose members, Saul Hernández and Alfonso Andre, have sold more than 5 million albums.
The new album is an eclectic blend, from the spacey guitar duel that recalls the seminal punk band Television on “El Secreto” to the rollicking salsa rock of the first single “Como Tu”.
Jaguares have been playing and selling out prestigious venues such as the Universal Amphitheatre and Arrowhead Pond for more than seven years.

While their Mexican fan base is admittedly huge, the band has attributed that their recent sold-out performance at the Arrowhead Pond to the monolingual English-speaking audience.
Before being known as Jaguares, singer Saul Hernandez and Andre were part of another seminal Latin rock band called Califanes.
And though the band’s newfound audience may not be aware of them, the lyrics that Hernandez sings are deeply rooted in an organic ideology.

Because of the small number of rock producers in Mexico, many bands seek to hire producers and engineers from the U.S. (Adrian Belew, Greg Ladanyi, David Z, and Billy Gould are only a few of the most recent examples) and record their albums everywhere from Hollywood to Memphis.
Jaguares even go so far as to have a Veracruzean dance troupe open each show with a traditional, pre-Columbian ritual that typically includes peyote ingestion and dancing on a platform high atop a wooden pole.
Nowhere is rock en espanõl's double life as both mainstream stadium spectacle and marginal rebel music more evident than at El Chopo, the weekly rock swap meet that is the thriving fulcrum of the Mexican rock underground.
