Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas, often simply known as Loquillo, is a seminal figure in the Spanish rock scene, fronted by the charismatic and deep-voiced singer José María Sanz Beltrán, better known by his stage name Loquillo. The band formed in the early 1980s in Barcelona, and quickly became known for their rockabilly-influenced rock and their embodiment of the urbanite, rebel spirit of the era. Over the years, their sound evolved to incorporate various rock subgenres, always underscored by Loquillo's distinct, baritone vocals and an attitude soaked in the ethos of rock and roll.

Their musical repertoire has become legendary in Spanish rock, with a discography that includes hits such as "El Rompeolas", "Cadillac Solitario", and "Rock & Roll Star", each of which capture the energy and vibe of the band's live performances. The group's longevity and relevance were further solidified by albums such as "Feo, Fuerte y Formal" and "Cuero Español", showcasing their talent for crafting anthems that resonate with a widespread audience. With a career that spans over three decades, Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas have not only provided a soundtrack for a generation but also influenced the next with their defiant, poetic, and unapologetically rock approach to music.
