Los Mapaches are South America’s premier international tribute to The Beatles, delivering a globally recognised show built on musical precision and high energy performance. Known as The Raccoons, the band offer a distinctive alternative to traditional tribute acts by prioritising authenticity over imitation. Their combination of tight vocal harmonies, vintage instrumentation and charismatic stage presence makes them a sought-after act for theatres, festivals and live music venues across the UK and beyond.
Formed by three Peruvian brothers taking on the roles of John, Paul and George, alongside an English drummer as Ringo, Los Mapaches first rose to prominence in Peru through the mainstream television show 'Yo Soy'. Their early success established them as a credible and exciting tribute act, quickly leading to international touring opportunities. With a strong foundation in musicianship and performance, they have since built a reputation for delivering consistently high quality live shows that resonate with both dedicated fans and wider audiences.
Their act centres on a dynamic Beatles Greatest Hits set, featuring iconic songs such as 'Hey Jude', 'Come Together' and 'Let It Be'. Rather than relying on visual likeness, Los Mapaches focus on recreating the sound and spirit of the original recordings, using era correct instruments including Hofner, Rickenbacker, Gretsch and Ludwig. Their performances have extended to fully sold out theatre productions, including a large scale show backed by a full symphony orchestra, demonstrating their versatility and ability to elevate the tribute format.
In 2026, Los Mapaches completed a successful UK tour with 11 sold out shows across the North West, including a headline performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. Their viral performances at key Liverpool landmarks gained widespread attention on platforms such as TikTok, leading to features on BBC North West Tonight and appearances on BBC Radio Merseyside. With a rapidly growing UK fanbase and proven track record, they are regularly hired for their authenticity, energy and ability to deliver memorable live experiences.
