A Barcelona band that mixed flamenco with rock and reggae for about a decade starting in 1999.
For their sound, start with "Castillo de Arena." For their lyrical tone, try "Como Me Ves Me Voy."
They were one of those groups that didn't fit neatly into genre boxes, which made them interesting even when critics were skeptical. Songs like "Castillo de Arena" show how they could anchor flamenco guitar in rock arrangements. Working with Paco de Lucía at one point gave their sound that authentic flamenco touch.
They formed in Barcelona in 1999 around singer-songwriter Josep María "Pescao" Queralt. Their debut album "El Pescao: Canciones" was followed by records like "Dunas," "Camino de Fuego," and "La Vida." They kept playing their blend of styles for about a decade.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
