About

Los Carayos was a French band which released four albums between 1986 and 1994. They were active mostly in Paris in the mid-1980s, but side interests of the musicians, notably of Manu Chao, did not allow the band to take off.

Their songs were largely of a parodic style, mixing rockabilly, punk, blues, and various genres of folk from throughout the world, especially country, and hispanic music. They were also influenced by Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who is famous for his work in movie soundtracks.

Also in Français

Los Carayos est un groupe de rock alternatif français fondé en 1985 à Paris et produit par Didier Pasquier. Los Carayos est cependant plus à considérer comme un « supergroupe » plus que comme un groupe standard, au sens où il n'est composé que de musiciens majeurs évoluant parallèlement dans leurs groupes respectifs de l'époque : François Hadji-Lazaro, Manu Chao, Schultz (de Parabellum), Alain Wampas (des Wampas), Antoine Chao. Le groupe se sépare en 1990.
