Los Beatniks were an early Argentine rock garage group. Active in the middle years of the 1960s, they went down in trivia history as recording the first original rock single in Argentina titled "Rebelde". Despite their short career, the band are considered one of the pioneers of Argentine rock.[1]

History

The band featured three key figures of the early rock movement in Argentina: Moris and Pajarito Zaguri on guitars and voice, Javier Martínez on drums. They were also the most important band playing at the "La Cueva" club in Buenos Aires, one of the mythical gathering spots from which many of the first Argentine rock bands would emerge.

Due to the limited commercial success of their first (and only) single, Los Beatniks separated in 1967.[2]

After the break-up

Moris began his solo career in 1968, Javier Martinez formed with Manal in 1968, with Alejandro Medina on bass guitar and Claudio Gabis on guitar. Pajarito Zaguri formed La Barra de Chocolate since 1968 to early 1971.
