BRIEF HISTORY
In 1989, Mario Olguín decided to form a group that would perform the musical work of The Beatles live, and in August of that same year, he founded Beatlemania, with its main motto being to perform the songs of The Beatles in the original voice recordings in which were created, without attempting to imitate the voices or appearance of the legendary Liverpool quartet.​
​
The Beginning
Penny Lane is one of the first places where they began to play in Santiago, a pub from that time, located in the Bellavista neighborhood, which was attended by lovers of Beatles music. Given the success of their presentations, the group captured the attention of the media, and in less than a year they became known nationally, thus beginning an extensive period of touring.
​
National and international tours.
(Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, England and the United States).

On February 11, 1993, they performed at the XXXIV International Song Festival of Viña del Mar, where they were awarded the silver seagull. They repeat their presentation on February 13.

They returned to Bolivia in 1996, a tour that included the cities of La Paz, Sucre, Oruro and Potosí.
In 1997 they traveled to England to offer a concert of more than 2 hours at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, a concert that was produced by Alan Williams, the Beatles' first manager.

Today, Beatlemania is a consecrated group not only in Chile, it is also established worldwide.
American and for many it is one of the best (if not the best) Beatle band in the world.
As Mario Olguín says, "there is no Beatle band in the world that is as well known in its country as Beatlemania is in Chile."
