Radio Macandé

Radio Macandé formed in Huelva, Andalusia, in 2005. Their music pulls from Andalusian flamenco and Latin rhythms, with songs like "Aceptar" and "Ahora Curo Mis Heridas" showing their focus on personal themes. In 2012, their album "El Sonido de Una Isla" brought them wider attention, anchored by the track "Aceptar." They followed with albums like "Caminando" in 2014 and "Por Primera Vez" in 2020.

Their lineup includes José Manuel Soto on vocals and guitar, David Mayoral on guitar, Rafel de la Tena on bass, Antonio Cruz on drums, and Ricardo Moreno on keyboards. Their sound has incorporated rock and electronic elements over time, while keeping a foundation in flamenco and pop. Songs such as "Apiadate de Mi" and "Besame" reflect their continued work with emotional, direct lyrics.

Radio Macandé's music has sometimes drawn criticism, as with the song "Sonámbulo," which faced claims about drug references. They've maintained that their lyrics reflect real experiences. Their influences include artists like Bob Marley and Joaquín Sabina, as well as contemporary Spanish acts such as Izal and Vetusta Morla.
