Background notes
Archive material and source history
Los Gangsters formed in Cali, Colombia in the late 1970s, started by Alfredo Miranda and Jairo Varela. They brought in musicians like Jose Aguirre and Nelson Pinedo. Their sound mixed salsa with funk and rock elements, which didn't sit well with some traditionalists at first.
Their 1980 album "Abreme las puertas" gave them their biggest hit with the title track. That song, along with others like "Ana" and "Aprendiendo a Volar," became staples in their catalog. They recorded over twenty albums through the years, including "Aguante" in 1981 and "La Cultura" in 1983.
Some of their lyrics touched on social issues, which occasionally drew criticism.
