Los Dug Dug's are a pioneering Mexican rock band, widely regarded as one of the key groups in the development of the rock en español movement. Formed in the city of Durango in the mid-1960s, the band was originally called Xippos Rock before adopting the name Los Dug Dug's. The group is led by singer and guitarist Armando Nava, who has been the driving force behind their distinctive sound. Their music blends elements of psychedelia, progressive rock, and traditional Mexican music, distinguished by its creativity and innovation.
The band achieved national fame when they moved to Mexico City and became one of the first Mexican rock bands to sing entirely in Spanish, at a time when most other groups chose to perform in English. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1971, is celebrated for its classic hit "Smog," and it remains a seminal influence in Latin American rock music. Throughout their career, Los Dug Dug's have continued to release albums and maintain a loyal following. Albums like "Brillo de Sol" and "Cambia, Cambia" reflect the band's enduring capacity to adapt and innovate. Their influence on subsequent generations of rock musicians in Mexico and beyond is indisputable, and they remain one of the country's most iconic and respected rock bands.
