The band was founded in 1962 by keyboardist Ciro Fogliatta. He was joined by Rubén Rojas on vocals, Juan Carlos "Chango" Pueblas on guitar, and Ricardo Bellini on drums. In 1963 Guillermo Romero would join on bass, and Jose "Tito" Adjaiye would replace Bellini. Their popularity on TV led to a record deal. After several singles, Los Gatos Salvajes released their first (and only) LP, the self-titled
Los Gatos Salvajes in 1965. Sales for the album were disappointing due to poor promotion by the label, which was financially struggling. The album sold less than a thousand copies before the company went broke. Less than a year after it was released, Adjaiye, Pueblas and Romero decided it was time to return home to Rosario and the group broke up. Nebbia and Fogliatta stayed in Buenos Aires and assembled a new group, Los Gatos, which would enjoy greater commercial success, selling 200,000 copies of their debut single "
La balsa." Los Gatos would come to be recognised as founders in the
Argentine National Rock movement. In 2007, a compilation, Los Gatos Salvajes: Complete Recordings, was released in the United States by No Fun Productions. ==Personnel==
