History
They formed in 1992 when its members used to meet and write funny lyrics, and later began playing at bars and clubs in the neighbourhood. In this year they recorded their first album, Los Sultanes del Amor (The Sultans of Love), which became well-known across the country.
In 1995 they released their second and most profitable album, Habilítamelo (Allow it to me), which had a large following in the tropical music scene of Argentina.
In 1998, Zona Roja (Red Light District), an album released simultaneously in the United States, Spain and Mexico, reached a much larger audience. It included hits such as "Decile que lo quiero; Estoy saliendo con un chabón" (Tell him I love him: I'm dating a dude) and "El Chupete (¡Agente, agente!)" (The Pacifier (Officer, officer!) which drew attention from young and old alike, making the album triple platinum in Argentina; it has sold more than 30,000 units.
They had a tour in Chile (where the album went gold), Uruguay (platinum album), Brazil (where they were invited by the singer Xuxa), Mexico (participating in the festival "Millennium" from Acapulco) and Spain.
In 1999 Son o se Hacen (Are they pretending or not?), which included hits such as "El Tucanazo" and "La Reina de la Zona Roja" "Queen of the Red Light District". In 2000, Vuelta y Vuelta (Round and Around), an album recorded in Spain, achieved great success with the record company Vale Music selling 200,000 copies.
Most of the songs of the band are known for dealing with gay and transgender-related topics.
