A pop/rock band from Spain, El Canto del Loco started as a project by two acting students who shared their pa**ion for Spanish power pop music. Daniel Martin Garcia (aka Dani) and Ivan Alejandro Ganchegui were soon joined by guitarist David Otero Martin, drummer Alejandro Velazquez Insua (Jandro), and ba**ist Jose Ruiz Casares (aka Chema). After recording a demo and signing with BMG-Ariola, El Canto del Loco recorded a self-titled album produced by Alejo Stivel, featuring the band's first hit, "Pequenita," and a cover of Camilo Sesto's "Vivir Asi es Morir de Amor." ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
