about

Infectious rock&roll, surf, beat, girl group and ye-yé sounds by LAS MOSQUITAS, the first female beat band from Argentina.

Including their rare album from 1965 for the Music Hall label plus bonus tracks from singles and their impossible to find split EP with Los Gatos Salvajes.

Las Mosquitas (“The Little Flies”) consisted of Stella Maris Conde (Pupé) on vocals and guitar, María Cristina Medina (Nita) on bass, Ana María Millán (Nené) on vocals and guitar and Beatriz Cabrera (Dina) on drums. They performed their original compositions as well as Spanish sung covers of hits from the era. Producer Ricardo Romero of pioneering rock&roll Argentinean band Los Cinco Latinos took them under his wing and secured a deal with the Music Hall label.

They toured nationally and internationally, sometimes supporting Los Cinco Latinos, other times as the main act. Not only that, but they conquered every city they performed in, they were received by fans, ambassadors, presidents and their daughters, all eager to see Las Mosquitas on stage. Tours through Panamá, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Puerto Rico, Chile, Uruguay, Brasil, Curazao and Argentina were completed with fantastic public response and TV appearances.

The “Mosquitamania” was born and a string of singles and a full album on the Music Hall label followed.
All of them are compiled here for the first time.

“Their music was a mix of ye-yé and beat and they dressed how you would expect the Beatles to dress if they had been women”
- Gareth Wynne (Ugly Things)

Mosquitas Argentina

Las Mosquitas were the first female beat band from Argentina. Their look was a mix between the Shangri-Las and early Beatles and their sound a refreshing mix of rock&roll, surf, beat, girl group and ye-yé.
