History

Los Twisters was one of the first South American bands which recorded twist songs. The band originated in the early 1960s after Los Lyons broke up.[1] The band was highly influenced by Bill Haley, Chubby Checker and Elvis Presley.[2]

From their beginnings, the band had Luis Dimas as lead vocalist and they had their first successful singles: "Penas juveniles", Caprichitos, Me recordarás, Sueña and "Mi secreto". In 1963 it was selected as the most popular band in Chile;[3] but it didn't continued so much, because the next year Cecilia weed it to them, inducing the band to emigrate to Argentina.[3] In Argentina, the band was quite successful, and Luis Dimas became so popular, and they wanted to dissolve in 1966.[1] After they broke up, the band lost popularity until they released their unique album, El show de Los Twisters.[1]
