Hombres G
18th April
After completely revolutionising the Spanish music scene in the mid 1980's with songs such as "Marta tiene un marcapasos”, “Visite nuestro bar”, “Voy a pasármelo bien” and “Venezia”, among many others, the legendary Hombres G opted to fade into the background around 1992. Nevertheless, their work kept on selling, which convinced the band, led by David Summers, to release another album in 2002 (“Peligrosamente juntos”) and in 2004 (“El año que vivimos peligrosamente”.) “10” is the name of the latest album by Hombres G.
