Rollets was one of the fundamental groups for the development of disco in Peru. Their career was brief, only two years, with one album and a couple of performances. Although they are remembered for their mega-hit "Patinando," they were more than a one-hit wonder. The nine tracks included in their self-titled album Rollets (1981) surprise with the maturity with which they embrace the sounds of disco and boogie.
They emerged in Lima in 1980, at a decisive moment of democratic transition and renewal of the local music scene. The impact of the film Saturday Night Fever (1978) was felt not only in a massive audience flocking to cinemas but also in the record sales that the soundtrack achieved nationwide. Rock, which had gained popularity in the 60s and early 70s, entered a phase of reformulation, and many of its figures started to migrate to other genres like jazz, folklore, tropical, and of course, soul disco, in search of new audiences.
