Argentinian rock trio Enanitos Verdes (translation: "Little Green Dwarves") have been through a great deal in the 40-plus years they've been active, releasing 15 studio albums and steadily making a major impact across the globe, not to mention among Latin audiences.
Originally formed in the late '70s, Enanitos Verdes first consisted of three members: singer/bassist Marciano Cantero, guitarist Felipe Staiti and drummer Daniel Piccolo. Together, the trio relocated from Mendoza to Buenos Aires and began performing live at local clubs. In 1984, the band welcomed two new members: guitarist/vocalist Sergio Embrioni and keyboardist Tito Dávila. Together, the newly assembled quintet recorded their 1984 self-titled debut album. Ultimately, in 1985, Embrioni left the band.
The following year, Enanitos Verdes released their sophomore album, Contrarreloj (Counterclockwise), which featured production by Latin Grammy winner Andrés Calamaro and singles "Tus Viejas Cartas" ("Your Old Letters"), "Cada Vez Que Digo Adiós" ("Every Time I Say Goodbye") and "La Muralla Verde" ("The Green Wall").
In 1987, the group released their third album, Habitaciones Extrañas (Strange Rooms), which was also produced by Calamaro and featured singles "Te Vi en un Tren" ("I Saw You In A Train"), "Por el Resto" ("For The Rest") and "El Extraño de Pelo Largo" ("The Stranger With The Long Hair"). In 1988, the band embarked on a major tour, which drew enormous crowds across Chile and their native Argentina.
In 1988, Enanitos Verdes released their fourth album, Carrousel, which featured the hit "Guitarras Blancas" (White Guitars), followed by 1989's Había Una Vez (Once Upon A Time). Soon after, however, the band broke up, and Marciano Cantero embarked on a solo career.
In 1992, Enanitos Verdes got back together and recorded the aptly titled reunion album Igual Que Ayer (Same As Yesterday). Throughout the '90s, the band released four more albums: 1994's Big Bang, 1996's Guerra Gaucha (Gaucho War), 1997's Planetario (Planetarium), and 1999's Néctar. The band's 1998 live album, Tracción Acústica, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Performance.
Moving into the 2000s, Enanitos Verdes kept releasing albums, including 2001's Solo para Fanáticos (Only For Fanatics), 2002's Amores Lejanos (Distant Loves), 2006's Pescado Original (Original Fish), and 2009's Inéditos. In 2009, drummer Daniel Piccolo left the band and was replaced by Jota Morelli. In 2011, guitarist Sergio Embrioni tragically passed away.
Enanitos Verdes kept going, though, releasing the studio album Tic Tac in 2013 and touring across the United States with Spanish pop/rock group Hombres G. In 2018, they released a live album from that tour titled Huevos Revueltos (En Vivo).

Excellent sound, show and performance. The Enanitos Verdes were AWESOME, we were about 10 feet apart. Overall it was an outrightgeous experience.
I grew up with this band.. who said we were getting old?? these guys still ROCK!! Great Show.
Los Enanos are amazing, they are worth the ticket price just for my fav song... BUT the concert was super short!! We were told they'd play til 10:15 and they only played til 10; they started at 8:45. No regrets though, they were awesome as always
Greatest time spent on a Sunday ever. Enanitos Verdes rocked all my favorite jams. I was only an arms length away from them. Had a couple of beers but the rum and coke definitely did it for the night. I am going again next time they come.
The sound was great, and the songs picked for the concert were awesome. They just put out a new CD but only sang one song off of it which is great because when a band has been around for as long as these guys have, you want to hear all of their earlier stuff. My only "complaint" is that it only lasted an hour and a half. However there was no intermission, it was great latin rock for 90 minutes nonstop. If you are a fan of Los Enanitos Verdes then you must see them live, they were GREAT!
OMG... This was a Mothers Day surprise for my cousin from me and we had a blast. We danced and cried with excitement. Her or I have been to other live performance and Los Enanitos Verdes were freaking AWESOME, they KILLED IT!!!!
HOB is a great venue - makes for an intimate concert Enanitos played all theri hits plus some new songs - Great music! The played great guitar solos and voice of marciano was excellent! Only minor compliant is that they only played for 1hr 45 minutes
I saw them in Chicago a few weeks ago and I just saw them again in Mexico City a couple of 2 days ago.Some of the best concerts I have ever seen!
This concert was great. I follow this band ever since I was a kid.
Enanitos always puts on a great show full of energy. The gutarist is amazing. it was the best concert i've ever seen to date.
best band ever. with an excellent guitarrist! wow! the way he played that guitar! This band has 20 years of carreer they are excellent and now how to put up a show... they also had an acoustic part it was awesome!
The show was awesome, as Enanitos Verdes usually are. The only downfall was that the place was too small for so many people. It is hard to enjoy the show when you can't even breath.
I can express how wonderful this event was, i llike them more now SON LO MAXIMO!!!!
It was a great show but it was way too crowded.
for a band thats been together for so long they still now how to rock the house. the show was awesome.
this was an amazing concert!!!
They're great performers..it rocked!
I have seen Enanitos perform many times! Each time they bring something new to their performance! They are a very talented band. I strongly recommend you arrive early! Our mistake was arriving late, right before they came on and the consequences were not being able to see a thing! The house was more crowded than other times. Aside from that, you will not be sorry.
Simply amazing. Its Enanitos Verdes they are unbelievable. I recommend it to anyone even if you don't understand the language. You'll know good music when you hear regardless of the language, and Enanitos really has the most amazing music.
my first time to watch them live...it was so awesome..they sang acoustic too and that made it that much better..and to listen to my favorite songs acoustically, was breathtaking...
