 Opinions and other informations:

    

Spanish quintet focused in a good interchange among guitar, organ and sax. Very spanish, like they were influenced by later bands like Bloque and Asfalto. The only drawback is their english, very long and repetitive. The rest of the songs are growing on me. Nothing to do with Goma 2. Mike Ohman


Another impressive band from andalusia. It is said that they even have not own equipment. The musicians came from other bands like Gong, Chicle, Caramelo y Pipa and Smash), and then joined other bands like Imán, Veneno or Cal. "14 de Abril" was released by Movieplay. They also collaborated in the original soundtrack of "Manuela".


"14 de Abril" has been recently re-released by Fonomusic.
