Tequila is a legendary Spanish rock and roll band that has left a profound mark on the music industry, particularly in the world of Spanish-speaking rock. The group's roots can be traced back to the mid-1970s when two Argentine musicians, Alejo Stivel (lead vocals) and Ariel Rot (guitar and backing vocals), came together in Madrid, Spain. The duo, along with Spanish musicians Julián Infante (guitar), Manolo Iglesias (drums), and Felipe Lipe (bass), formed the core of what would become a hallmark sound mixing the punchy exuberance of rock and roll with the lyrical vitality of Spanish storytelling. Tequila gained widespread recognition with hits like "Me Vuelvo Loco" and "Salta!!!" contributing to the soundtrack of the vibrant Spanish youth culture of the time.

Rekindling their electrifying flair, Tequila reunited in recent years, reminding new and nostalgic fans alike of their influential role in shaping Spanish rock. Their resurgence is marked by live performances and compilations, such as "Adiós, Tequila! En Vivo," capturing the irrepressible energy of their concerts at the WiZink Center in Madrid in 2018. Their discography continues to thrive with new editions and anthologies like "Esencial Tequila" which punctuates their enduring appeal. With both the grit of classic rock and the distinctive twist of Iberian zest, Tequila's music remains a pulsating celebration of the universal language of rock and roll, echoing their legacy through spirited live shows and enduring recordings for both old fans and newcomers to discover.
