12 Tribus

12 Tribus formed in Madrid in 1995. Their early work blended Spanish rhythms with rock and pop, though they faced some initial skepticism. They built a following through live performances before their 2005 album 'A Contratiempo' became a hit in Spain. The title track from that album, along with songs like 'Apágala' and 'Conciencia En Babilón,' helped define their sound.

The band's lineup has included vocalist Antón Dávila, guitarist César Andión, bassist Luis Mendo, drummer Óscar Castañeda, and flutist Marina Martínez. Their discography includes albums like 'La Rueca' from 1998, 'Maldita Guerra' from 2008, and 'La Voz del Pueblo' from 2015. Their lyrics often carried social and political commentary, which drew criticism from some quarters while maintaining their fanbase.

12 Tribus created music that resonated with Spanish audiences, capturing certain rhythms and social themes in their work. Their recordings like 'Bella Bendicion' and 'El Inspector' continued to reflect their approach through different periods of their career.
