Santos Inocentes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spain's version of April Fools' Day. People stick paper cut-outs of little men, or Monigote to people's backs.

Also an alternative rock band from Argentina, founded by Andres Alberti (younger brother of famed Soda Stereo drummer Charly Alberti), Andres Dussel and Raul Cariola. The group was most active during the late 90s and two years of 2000. They were generally tagged under the "sonic" rock movement of mid-decade (like Babasonicos and Juana La Loca), but featured a crunching attack of layered and textured guitars, more angular than other acts in the sub-genre. Their second album, "Megaton", was the first release of Maverick Musica (latin division of Madonna's record label).They took a reprieve in 2001.
