Os Diplomáticos de Monte-Alto is an iconic band hailing from A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, known for their unique blend of traditional Galician music with punk and ska influences. The group was formed in 1991 and has been a crucial part of the Galician music scene, particularly associated with the 'Bravú' movement that aimed to revitalize Galician culture and language during the 90s. Their music is characterized by the use of Galician gaitas (bagpipes), accordion, and other traditional instruments, infused with energetic rhythms and a rebellious spirit.

Over the years, Os Diplomáticos de Monte-Alto have released several albums and singles that have become anthems within the regional music community, touching upon themes of cultural identity, social issues, and local pride. Some of their recent works include "A Rabaleira," which showcases their knack for creating infectious melodies, and "Deitado Frente Ao Mar - Aniversario Bravú XX," a celebration of their musical journey and the Bravú movement's 20th anniversary. The homage to the local football club with "O Son das túas Ondas - Homenaxe ao Deportivo da Coruña," demonstrates their deep connection to their roots and local community. Their continued passion for music and cultural activism can be felt in their engaging tracks "Capeton," "Avante toda!" and "Parrus," which reinforce their status as cultural ambassadors of Galician music and identity.
