El canto del loco is a Spanish pop rock band. They were formed in 1994, in Cristina Rota drama school. The members of the band are Dani Martín (the vocal) , David Otero (guitar and chorus), Chema Ruiz (bass) and finally Jandro Velázquez (drums). The name of the band comes because both of the members who formed the band like “El canto del gallo” song a lot. And they decided to call their band El canto del loco because of that. The band has had a lot of problems because the critics don’t like the name. The lyrics are written by all of them.
After a year, their first album was released by the Ariola discography. But their second album was the most popular one and they were in the hits for many weeks. It has sold more than fifteen million copies. They have been awarded many prizes, among them The best band in 2006 and the best tour, in the same year too. In 2002 they were nominated for seven MTV music awards.
Some of their best songs are “Puede ser”, “Zapatillas”, “ Ya nada volverá a ser como antes” and “Vuelve”.
I like al lot this band, in fact is my favourite band. The fist time that I heard I thought that it was a bit boring but when I download one song of their first album I started liking a lot. And now this is the band that I like the most. I like their lyrics because they have sense, and most of them are romantic and I prefer this theme than others.
