A.k.a. The Black Dynamites
Los Indonesios is a legendary Dutch Indorock band that started in the 1950's as the Bell Boys together with other Indorock legends such as the Tielman Brothers plus Oety and his Real Rockers. They soon changed their name into The Black Dynamites and were known for their amazing stage show with crazy acrobatics. In 1959 they won a contest in the Netherlands which led to a recording contract with record label Delahay from their hometown The Hague (Den Haag). Later that year they also won a contest in Belgium. In 1960 they started touring all over Germany also playing in Hamburg during the time that the Beatles were just starting out as an amateur band. The band also played in such countries as Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, France, etc. In 1961 the Black Dynamites went to Spain to perform over there in various cities. Although they went back to perform in Germany and other countries, each year they would return to Spain to perform over there (mostly during summers). It was in Spain were the group eventually would win the first prize at the Festival De Leon and that secured them a recording and film contract. The record company demanded though that the band changed their name the Black Dynamites into the Spanish name Los Indonesios (The Indonesians), which was what the audience would call them and remember them by after having seen their amazing shows. Los Indonesios started touring all over Spain and became popular during the years 1964-1967. In 1970 Los Indonesios moved to Lesotho in South Africa, were they performed for King Moshoeshoe and the royal family. After having toured all over Africa they returned to Spain in 1974 and would perform there till 1977, the year they returned to the Netherlands - the country were it all once started for the Black Dynamites / Los Indonesios. The band continued performing in the Netherlands as well as in Germany during the 80's, 90's and past millenium. Los Indonesios also returned to Spain a few times in later years to do some small shows especially for the fans.
