Jarabe de Palo

Very famous in Spain, the band centers around singer, songwriter and guitarplayer Pau Donès, "Jarabe de Palo", from Barcelona. Donés, an early fan of the Beatles and Bob Marley, formed his first band with his brother, but then found another lineup for the newly named Jarabe de Palo. The group's 1997 album La Flaca did well on the charts in the group's native land. De Vuelta Y Vuelta was issued four years later. The band has Latin-rock style with rythms and influences from all over the world. "Depende" and 2003 "Bonito" are two of the band's biggest hits.
