This reads the Magic Land book on them:
Los Moonlights were, maybe next to Los Delfines, the band with the most steady schedule of work in Uruguay during the years that rock music was worth a living. Formed at the end the 60s, they played live at the beginning of the following decade. Lead by the Iriarte brothers, and with a superb musician like Dino, Los Moonlights achieved a very important quantity of followers with their overwhelming sound of guitars and great vocalizations. After a couple of singles for the Clave label, the group signed with the decisive De La Planta, where they recorded a very good album. Oddly, it has never been reissued and is hard to get.
Simply titled Moonlights, the LP contains such songs as "Vamos dulce muchacha" or the mega classic "Milonga de pelo largo" (Milonga of the long hair) a key tune to understand the feeling of that time and place.
With the military coup of 1973, Los Moonlights, as so many others, suffered under abrupt change of rules. Unlike most of the other bands, they attempted to survive and kept playing live until the effort proved useless. Following the commercial flop of their second album, the band split and Dino pursued a solo career.
