Xiruzinho formed in 1989 in Argentina's Salta Province, with founding members Ernesto Guevara, Juan Carlos "El Chango" Juárez, and Eduardo "Lalo" Banegas. They came together around a shared interest in Andean folk music and its traditional instruments.
In 1992, the band released an album titled "Para Atahualpa Yupanqui," named for the Argentine folk singer. The title track became one of their better-known songs. Some listeners felt their approach modernized the traditional sound more than they preferred.
Around 2012, Xiruzinho filed a lawsuit against their former label over compensation issues. The legal matter was settled after several years.
