El Canto Del Loco

El Canto del Loco, often abbreviated as ECDL, is a prominent Spanish pop rock band known for its energetic rhythms and catchy melodies, which resonated with a generation of music lovers in Spain and Latin America. Formed in the late 1990s in Madrid, the band originally consisted of lead vocalist Daniel "Dani" Martín, guitarist David Otero, bassist Chema Ruiz, and drummer Iván Ganchegui, who later left the group. Their name, which translates as "The Singing of the Madman," reflects the group's desire to break free from the conventional and to express a sense of uninhibited emotion and youthful rebellion.

El Canto del Loco achieved massive success with a string of best-selling albums, and high-energy live performances. Their self-titled first album, "El Canto del Loco," set the stage for a prolific career. Following albums such as "A Contracorriente," "Estados de Animo," "Zapatillas," and "Personas" not only topped charts but also cemented their status as a force in the Spanish music scene. The band's songs, often laced with introspective lyrics and reflections on personal, social, and emotional themes, created a resonance with fans that lasted well beyond their active years. After a temporary hiatus, ECDL released the album "Radio la Colifata Presenta: El Canto del Loco," showcasing a collaboration with the radio station La Colifata, run by psychiatric hospital patients in Argentina—a testament to the band's social awareness and innovative spirit. Although they went on an indefinite break in 2010, El Canto del Loco's music continues to be celebrated by fans, and their contributions to Spanish pop rock are fondly remembered and still influential to emerging artists.
