Los Planetas are a prominent figure in the Spanish indie music scene, having formed in Granada in 1993. Driven by the creative force of lead singer and guitarist Jota along with Florent on the guitar, Eric on drums, and Julián Mendez on bass, they've secured their reputation as pioneers of the genre within Spain. Their sound is often characterized by melancholic melodies blended with noise rock, shoegaze, and influences from traditional Andalusian music, a testament to their Granadian roots.
Over the years, Los Planetas have maintained a persistent impact on the Spanish music landscape. Albums like "Una Semana en el Motor de un Autobús" (1998) became a cornerstone of Spanish indie music, cementing their status as a venerable institution. Notably, their recent releases such as "Zona Temporalmente Autónoma" (2017) exemplify the band's ability to evolve while remaining true to their identity—showcasing poetic lyrics and innovative sonics that engage issues both personal and political. Tracks like "Islamabad" and "El Negacionista" continue to resonate with fans, reinforcing Los Planetas' enduring relevance and artistic vitality in the Spanish-speaking world.
