History
Los Pasteles Verdes was founded by guitarist Víctor Hugo Acuña and keyboardist Cesar Acuña, who are brothers; they had previously played together in The Jeekstones and Los Benkers.[1] In 1973 they formed Los Pasteles Verdes with Singers: Aldo Guibovich, German Laos, drummer Jorge Luis Principe, bassist Miguel Moreno, and percussionist Juan Vásquez. Their first hit, a success across Latin America, was "Angelitos Negros", which preceded the release of their debut Recuerdos de Una Noche.[1] Among their later hits were "Hipocresia" and "Esclavo y Amo".
The group made a significant impact on the Mexican and Mexican-American musical markets in the late 1970s.[2] For part of the 1970s and 1980s they were based out of Mexico. They toured Japan in 2007.[3]
