Anyway, Zabarqal, if you´re still here, and if you have a long memory, you may recall that I once asked you about a band whose name was like a dinosaur. Well, I finally found them again. They are from Colombia and here is the first track that turns up on Youtube :-

Yep, I remember the
Archaeopteryx or something like that.
Aterciopelados means "
the velvety ones" (
terciopelo means
velvet). The band was mentioned in this thread about three years ago.
Bolero falaz ("
Deceitful Bolero") is one of their best-known songs. It's a kind of satire about
boleros (you can see a lyrics' translation
here). Bolero songs were very popular in the whole Spanish-speaking world from the 40's to the 60's. They had a romantic and idealistic tone.
