Los Manolos is a festive and vibrant musical group hailing from Barcelona, Spain, known for their unique blend of rumba catalana, a style that melds traditional Spanish rumba with elements of rock, pop, and sometimes ska and reggae. Their music is characterized by lively rhythms, flamenco guitar strums, and a party-like atmosphere that has been engaging audiences since they first emerged onto the Spanish music scene in the late 1980s.

The band gained widespread recognition and international fame after their energetic cover of The Beatles' "All My Loving" was performed at the closing ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The rumbas and the rhythm of palms and cajón in their music create a sound that is unmistakably rooted in the Catalan culture, yet universally engaging. Over the years, Los Manolos have continued to release albums and maintain their status as staples in the rumba catalana genre, with well-known albums such as "Pasión Condal" and songs like "Amigos para Siempre". Their discography, including titles like "Mal Malalt," "El Premio Gordo," and "Las Mejores Rumbas De Los Manolos," cements their legacy as purveyors of the festive rumba spirit, which continues to enthrall listeners worldwide, encapsulating the essence of the streets of Barcelona and the joy of its people.
