Editor's note

Maccacos mix flamenco, reggae, and urban politics

A Barcelona band that blends street sounds with sharp social commentary since 1997.

For a quick sense of their range, try 'Extremos' or 'Sétimo Dia'. Both have that mix of groove and grit they do so well.

They've never been shy about pointing fingers at Spanish government and economic policies, especially on albums like 'Carrascus Erectus II'. Songs like 'Extremos' show how they can pull flamenco, reggae, and hip-hop into something that feels both local and restless. It's music that speaks plainly about city life without smoothing over the rough edges.

They formed in Barcelona in 1997, led by Dani Macaco. Over the years they've put out records like '300 Gramos' in 2004 and 'Historias Tattooadas' in 2015, working with artists like Manu Chao and Ojos de Brujo along the way. The current lineup still includes Macaco on vocals and guitar, with Vanessa Martín adding vocals.
