Band History

El Canto del Loco were founded in Madrid by singer Daniel Martín Iván Ganchegui. They called themselves originally only provisionally so to play on the song " El Canto del Gallo" Radio Futura, since they were both big fans of this band. In a theater school that they attend, they met the other band members later and started her first rehearsals as a band.

Due to problems, the quartet disbanded briefly but reunited quickly with one change: David Otero, a cousin of Daniel, the new guitarist was. After Daniel had in a flamenco festival Alejandro " Jandro " Velázquez, the son of a friend of his parents met, this was shortly after the new drummer of the band.
