El Canto Del Loco

About El Canto Del Loco

A pop/rock band from Madrid, Spain, El Canto del Loco (Crazy's Chant) were started as a project by two acting students who shared a passion for Spanish power pop. After recording a demo and signing with BMG-Ariola, El Canto del Loco recorded a self-titled album that earned the band its first hit, "Pequeñita." A string of successful records followed, including A Contracorriente, Estados de Ánimo, and Zapatillas. Their fifth album, Personas, was released in April 2008 with great expectations, and its success was a sure sign that El Canto del Loco had become the most popular band of early-2000s Spanish pop. ~ Alfonso Goiriz
