Vasos Vacíos (Spanish for Empty Glasses) is the 8th album and first compilation album by the Argentine rock, ska and reggae band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (Spanish for The Fabulous Cadillacs). Released in 1993, the album compiles tracks from their first seven albums (1986-1992), new arrangements of previous songs, and completely new songs such as "El Matador", which became the trademark song of the band.

The album broke sales records in Argentina and Latin America and earned a Gold Disc, a major achievement for a compilation album.^[1] The band later appeared on the first Latin MTV Unplugged.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Victor W. Valdivia awarded the album 4.5 stars out of 5, stating, "One of the new tracks, 'El Matador', became an instant smash on the newly launched MTV Latino, and deservedly so as the song comes on like a thundering locomotive. The other new track, 'V Centenario,' is an assault on colonialism that's almost as forceful. Similarly, the re-recorded earlier hits, such as 'El Satanico Dr. Cadillac' are delivered with far more energy and muscle than the original versions. Clearly, by this time, the band had become a more confident and cohesive unit. Vasos Vacios is an excellent introduction to the band's unique style."^[2]
