Los Gatos (Spanish for "the Cats") were an Argentine rock group from the late 1960s. The group was formed by Litto Nebbia and Alfredo Toth when their first group, Los Gatos Salvajes, disbanded. They are considered part of the founding trinity of Spanish-language rock in Argentina, along with Almendra and Manal. The unexpected success of their 1967 debut single "La balsa" was the kickstarter of Argentine rock, and pioneered Spanish-language rock. They explored psychedelic rock and their later recordings with Pappo are an early example of progressive rock. Los Gatos disbanded in 1970, and reunited for a tour in 2007.
