Falange

Falange formed in Barcelona in 1989, when hip hop was still finding its footing in Spain. The group, led by rapper L.A., started with underground concerts and mixtapes. Their track '100% Hip Hop' became something of an anthem, giving a name to their 1994 album.

Their lyrics often dealt with social issues and personal experiences, which resonated with younger listeners but also drew criticism from some quarters. They kept at it through the early '90s, building a following that appreciated their direct approach.

Other songs like 'Todas as cores' and 'Capital do Brasil' show the range they worked with, though the group's core identity remained tied to that straightforward hip hop sound. They were part of that first wave of Spanish artists who took the genre seriously as a form of local expression.
