Biography
Los Náufragos is rock band from Argentina. They released their first single 'La Leyenda de Xanadú' in 1968. It featured 'Sutilmente a Susana' on the B-side. It only sold 616 copies.
Despite their initial commercial failure, their record deal allowed them to put out another single in that same year, 'Eloise' / 'Vuelvo a Naufragar', produced by Francis Smith. Soon, DJs started playing the B-side, rather than the A-side and it eventually became a big hit.

The record went on to sell almost a million copies.
