A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Los Barrankillos kicked off in 2006. Born and raised as musicians on the busy and multicolored streets of Santa Coloma, their music roots are settled on the basis of Latin rhythms, Reggae, and Punk Rock. With a pair of remarkable demos, the band was soon playing at venues all around Catalonia, entertaining a growing number of loyal fans, who followed them everywhere. From the early songs, rather cheeky and facetious, their music evolved to develop a distinctive style, a genuine mix of flavors ever reminding us of where they come from.

In 2010, the group released “El Barranko Peleón” to prove that they were here for good. The album, containing 14 tracks and sprinkled with collaborations of friends and some renowned artists, such as Muchachito Bombo Infierno, granted them a name within the Catalan musical scene and gave them the chance to tour all over Spain and occasionally visit France and Switzerland.

At the present day, the band is presenting “Comer y Ladrar,” a truly courageous bid for this season, that clearly shows these five young musicians have come of age. Ever faithful to its mestizo roots, the band has carefully worked and produced each track as a whole in itself, managing to provide all songs with their own and unique sonic texture and personality. Here we are to find Big Band arrangements, ska and reggae beats, unstoppable grooves, and some drops of good old punk rampage. Now the lyrics appear to be more concerned about social issues, such as racism and immigration, sometimes delicate, sometimes raw but always full of inspiration.

A well-balanced collection of catchy songs and potential hits, in which talent and musical maturity are revealed from the very first note, “Comer y Ladrar” is a lively kaleidoscope with the power to arouse and lift up any kind of audience, anywhere at any time.
