Jarabe De Palo, a Spanish rock group with Latin influences, was formed in Barcelona in 1996 by frontman, songwriter, and guitarist Pau Donés. The band's music is characterized by a blend of rock, Latin, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, combined with thoughtful, introspective lyrics. Jarabe De Palo first gained major popularity with the hit "La Flaca", which became an instant success in Spain and parts of Latin America, establishing the band's signature sound and setting the stage for a successful career that would span over two decades.
Throughout their journey, Jarabe De Palo continued to evolve, both musically and lyrically, releasing a series of albums that reflected their growth and explored new sonic territories. Albums like "Bonito", "Depende", and "Orquesta Reciclando" showcase the band's versatility, touching upon themes of love, life, and social commentary with a poetic and often philosophical approach. The band's later works such as "50 Palos" – a reflective album marking Pau Donés' fight with cancer – and "Tragas o Escupes", maintain their distinctive sound while delving into deeply personal and universal subjects. Despite the tragic passing of Pau Donés in 2020, Jarabe De Palo's music continues to resonate with fans old and new, leaving behind a legacy of passion, creativity, and an indelible mark on the Hispanic music scene.
