The folk trio Los Zafiros were a band in the late 1960s and early 1970s who played traditional South American style music, although they actually originated in Spain. Their most notable performances were on British television variety shows of the period. They made several appearances on The Morecambe and Wise Show (1968–1971) and with Benny Hill. Their membership consisted of Alberto Martin (lead vocals, guitar), Jose Paris (lead vocal, guitar), Ricardo Ogando (vocals, guitar) and Pepe Pazos (vocals, requinto guitar).[1]

In 1970 they released the LP "The Romantic World of Los Zafiros" released by RCA International.
