Vilma Palma e Vampiros
Vilma Palma e Vampiros is an Argentine new wave indie rock en español band from Rosario. They came to prominence in 1992 after the release of the hits "Bye, Bye" and "La Pachanga".[1] Origin of the nameTranslated as Vilma Palma and Vampires, the name was taken from a graffiti[1] written over the metallic shutters of a closed furniture store by its former employees, calling out the manager: "Vilma Palma e Hijos Vampiros de los Obreros" (Vilma Palma and Sons, Vampires of the Workers). With time, the graffiti vanished until the words "Vilma Palma e Vampiros" remained by 1991.[2] This explanation makes for the grammatical error in the name: e is used instead of y (as and) only when followed by a word starting with i- or hi- (unless i- or hi- are followed by any other vowel).
