A Barcelona band that started in 1999, blending ska, punk, reggae, and flamenco into their own rhythmic sound.
For a sense of their early energy, try "Trovador Accidental" from that first album. Later, "Ellos" shows how the horns and rhythms came together.
They formed around Pablo Sánchez and Josep Montero in Barcelona in 1999, playing small venues with a mix that felt like their own. Their first album "Dispara" in 2003 had songs like "La Espada Del Recelo" and "Trovador Accidental" that found an audience. Later, with Albert Gil on bass and Raúl Rodríguez on trombone, tracks like "Ellos" showed how the horns and rhythms locked in behind Sánchez's vocals.
They started with "Dispara" in 2003, then put out records like "Hijos de la Rúa" in 2007 and "Días de Esperanza" in 2011. The writing stretched out a bit over those years, and they added a label called Buenritmo Records and a community music school. They've always written about things happening around them, which sometimes got them into trouble with people who preferred less direct lyrics.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
