From the back cover: Los Pekenikes, who have had their recordings released in some twenty-five different countries are the first pop Spanish group to create an international impact. The United States, Mexico, England, Japan, and Portugal are among the nations that have responded enthusiastically to this handsome and talented young fivesome.
Los Pekenikes, have been in existence for eight year, and during this time they have been leaders of the contemporary music forces in Spain. They have remained at the top because they have been enterprising pioneers and have initiated many new ideas. Most of the time they have written their own tunes, and their list of hits is indeed a long and impressive one. They have, of course, performed throughout Spain and have also appeared on the main television programs there, and have also made three films.
