Los Ángeles Negros (English translation: The Black Angels) was a Chilean music band that recorded primarily during the mid and late 1970s. Formed in 1967, the band released several albums after coming together through a local radio competition.
Their music was a blend of Latin Bolero and 1970s psychedelic funk.
The group had a number of hits in Latin America in the 1970s, such as "Y Volveré," "Pasión y Vida," and "Mi Niña".[1]
The Beastie Boys sampled their song "El Rey Y yo" on the album Hello Nasty. Their song "Tu y Tu Mirar...Yo y Mi Canción" was sampled by producer 9th Wonder on a Jay-Z song off of The Black Album called "My 1st Song".
Their song "Tu y Tu Mirar Yo y Mi Cancion" was sampled by producers Aqua and Joe "3H" Weinberger for Jay-Z's "My 1st Song" on his 2003 release "The Black Album".
