Caballeros de la Quema (, a name inspired by supporters of Club Atlético Huracán), is a rock group from Argentina fronted by Iván Noble.
Biography
Established in 1990, the founding members were Iván Noble (lead vocals), Pablo Guerra and Martín Méndez (guitarists), Alejandro Sorraires and Martín “Cafusa” Staffolari (saxophonists), Javier “Nene” Cavo (drummer), and Martín Carro Vila (bassist). Their first record, Primavera Negra, came out in 1991, followed by the 1993 release Manos vacías, which included songs such as "Carlito" and "Patri". They performed as the opening act for Joaquín Sabina at the Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverry stadium and shared the stage with La Renga and Los Piojos during a large event on 9 de Julio Avenue.
After Castillo left the band, Martín Carro Vila took over bass duties. The group then released Sangrando and served as the opening band for Aerosmith. Once Sorraires departed, they produced Perros, perros y perros, featuring the popular track "No chamuyés" with guest León Gieco.
The 1998 album La paciencia de la araña included the hit single "Avanti morocha", which experienced a resurgence in popularity during the 2011 Argentine general election when it was used in President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's campaign. This album also contained "Mothers", a song dedicated to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Iván Noble attracted media scrutiny due to a short-lived relationship with Natalia Oreiro. Following releases were Fulanos de nadie in 2000 and Otro jueves cobarde in 2001. The band dissolved that same year, with Noble embarking on a solo path.
