Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tako formed in the early 1980s with Juan Carlos Arauzo on vocals and guitar, Carlos Vázquez on drums, José Luis de Carlos on bass, and Juan Carlos Fernández on keyboards. They released their self-titled debut in 1983, but it was their 1986 album 'A las Puertas del Deseo' that gave them their most recognizable song.
That title track, along with songs like 'A ras de viento' and 'Corazon de Barro', established their sound, a mix of flamenco rhythms with more atmospheric, introspective rock.
They kept recording through the 90s and into the 2000s, putting out albums like 'El Corazón de la Ciudad' in 1996 and 'Umbrales' in 2002. Their catalog, while not huge, has a consistent thread of moody, melodic Spanish rock that found an audience without ever breaking into mainstream pop.
