Alaska y Dinarama is an iconic music act that emerged from the vibrant Spanish pop music scene in the 1980s. The group was formed by the merger of two bands: Alaska y los Pegamoides and Dinarama. The lead singer, Alaska (born Olvido Gara), is a central figure in the group and one of the most recognizable voices of the Movida Madrileña, the cultural movement that blossomed after the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain.

The band's style is characterized by a combination of punk, glam rock, and new wave influences, often infused with catchy pop melodies and synthesizer-driven sounds. They quickly rose to fame with hits such as "Ni Tú Ni Nadie" and "A Quién Le Importa," anthems that resonated with youth seeking freedom of expression in a transitioning Spain. Their album "Deseo Carnal" is considered one of their seminal works, and subsequent reissues and remastered editions, including "Fan Fatal - Remasters" and "No Es Pecado - Edición Para Coleccionistas," have continued to captivate new generations of fans. Alaska y Dinarama's legacy lies in their fearless approach to music and style, as well as their significant role in defining the soundtrack of an era that changed Spain forever.
