Bandalos Chinos with Darumas
Vándalos is the fourth album by the Beccar-based band and was produced together with Fermín Ugarte, known for his work on Dillom's successful LPs. Recorded entirely at COCO Studios in Martínez, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The album expands the group's sound and poetic vision into a new territory, combining the raw and visceral in its lyrics and aesthetics, with the depth and precision of its musical production.
Following the success of singles "El Ritmo" and "Comando Juntar", the band arrives at XXXX with the momentum of a year packed with shows, and the promise of an unforgettable live performance -- both in staging and musical strength.
With this tour, Bandalos Chinos reaffirms its place as one of the most influential acts in Spanish-speaking indie. A position earned through their earlier trilogy of albums, "BACH" (2018), "Paranoia Pop" (2020) and "El Big Blue" (2022), their undeniable ticket-selling power -- including a historic sold-out show at Luna Park for the release of "El big blue" -- and acclaimed performances across Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, the U.S., and Spain.
The band has also received recognition at awards such as the Gardel Awards and the Latin Grammys.
