Background notes
Archive material and source history
Empika formed in Barcelona in 2005 with Javi Busto on vocals and guitar, Xabi Busto on bass, Gaizka Salazar on drums, and Eneko Busto on keyboards. They put out their first album in 2006, followed by another called '11:30' in 2008.
In 2009, they released 'Shut Up,' a single that got some attention for its lyrics about censorship and social unrest. The song had a raw energy that connected with listeners, though its content also sparked some debate at the time.
Their music tended toward experimental soundscapes with emotional vocals and lyrics that aimed to provoke thought. They worked outside typical industry patterns, which sometimes drew criticism along with admiration.
