La Oreja de Van Gogh, often hailed as one of Spain’s most beloved pop rock bands, has continuously captured hearts around the globe since their formation in 1996 in San Sebastián, Spain. The group's name, a whimsical homage to the famous Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, reflects their artistic and thoughtful approach to music. La Oreja de Van Gogh initially gained fame with the release of their debut album, *Dile al sol* (1998), which set the stage for a career marked by emotive lyrics, catchy melodies, and the distinctive voice of their original lead singer, Amaia Montero. Montero's departure in 2007 led to Leire Martínez taking over as the lead vocalist, a transition that was both seamless and successful, ensuring the band's continued popularity.

Over the years, La Oreja de Van Gogh has consistently evolved, while remaining true to their roots, as shown by their varied discography including hits like "La playa," "Rosas," and "El Primer Día del Resto de Mi Vida." Their ability to weave stories through music has resonated widely, earning them an enduring fanbase and multiple awards. Noteworthy albums such as *El Planeta Imaginario* (2016) and *Un Susurro en la Tormenta* (2020) highlight their journey through different phases of creativity and sound exploration. The band's commitment to their craft is also evident in their collaborations with other artists and participation in thematic projects, like the soundtrack for *Elcano y Magallanes, La Primera Vuelta al Mundo*. Despite changes and challenges, La Oreja de Van Gogh remains a seminal figure in Spanish pop music, continually enchanting audiences with their storytelling and melodies.
