Barricada

Barricada, a name synonymous with Spanish rock since the early 1980s, stands as a monumental band hailing from Pamplona in the Navarre region of Spain. Formed in 1982, the band quickly gained traction within the Spanish rock scene, becoming a pivotal part of the 'Rock urbano' movement, which brought raw, gritty rock music to the forefront in Spain. Throughout their career, Barricada has been known for their potent blend of hard rock, punk, and heartfelt lyrics that speak to the trials and tribulations of the working class, social injustices, and personal freedom.

Over the decades, Barricada has released a prolific catalogue of albums, with more than 20 studio, live, and compilation albums to their name, underlining their enduring appeal and sustained relevance in the music world. Their energetic live performances, characterized by their powerful, guitar-driven sound and impassioned vocal delivery, have garnered a loyal fan base. Hits like "No hay tregua," "Esta es una noche de rocanrol," and "Pasión por el ruido" have become anthems within the Spanish rock scene, illustrating the band's ability to capture the zeitgeist of their generation. Despite undergoing various lineup changes, Barricada remained a force in music until they announced their dissolution in 2013, culminating in an emotional farewell concert in Pamplona. Their legacy, however, continues to thrive through their music, influencing new generations of rock bands and musicians across the Spanish-speaking world.
