A band that reshaped flamenco by folding in hip-hop, jazz, and Arabic sounds.
If you want to hear their approach in one track, try 'Correveidile' or 'Con Hambre'. Both songs hold that flamenco pulse while everything else swirls around it.
They took flamenco out of its traditional box without losing its rhythmic heart. Songs like 'Correveidile' show how they layered in hip-hop beats and saxophone lines over a flamenco base. It's music that feels both rooted and restless, a sound that refuses to sit still.
They formed in Barcelona in 1999, a mix of Spanish and Moroccan musicians. Their first album 'Vengue' arrived in 2002, followed by 'Bari' and 'Techarí' later in the decade. The lineup has shifted, but the core idea, starting with flamenco and letting other styles filter in, has stayed constant.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
