Combining 1960s beat sounds and 1980s hardcore, Los Brujos was an experimental group. In addition, their theatrical performances, where musicians created a special atmosphere around them, made Los Brujos a very visual rock act.

Los Brujos had a good year in 1992; the single "Kanishka" from the album "Fin de Semana Salvaje" ("Savage Weekend"), was a chart-topper. Somewhat haphazardly produced by the band in terms of the concept,
Daniel Melero , the producer, decided to let the album's sound stand as the disorganized naïveté of an adolescent band. It ranks as one of the best "New Argentine rock" records.1993's "San Cipriano" was another strong performance by the band, which strengthened their status. In the two years following Los Brujos would perform on stage with the likes of Nirvana,
Soda Stereo ,Babasonicos , andThe Beastie Boys . Soda Stereo'sGustavo Cerati cameod on their third album, 1995's "Guerra de Nervios".

With one of the major bands of the movement gone, their break-up was seen as the end of the New Argentine rock period, and the beginning of the suburban rock dominance of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
