Porretas

About

Porretas, the Spanish rock band that emerged from the gritty streets of Granada in the late 1980s, has spent decades crafting a sound that’s as raw as it is relatable. Known for their unapologetically honest lyrics and high-energy performances, Porretas blends punk rock, ska, and traditional Spanish folk influences into a rebellious yet deeply melodic concoction. Their music is a reflection of everyday struggles, love, and the working-class spirit, delivered with a DIY ethos that has earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase. The band’s breakthrough came in the early 1990s with albums like *Vamos que nos vamos* and *Voy a pasármelo bien*, which catapulted them into the Spanish rock spotlight. Their anthemic tracks, such as “No me importa nada” and “El ritmo de las bestias,” became rallying cries for a generation disillusioned by societal norms. Over the years, Porretas has maintained their authenticity, refusing to conform to industry trends while steadily building a legacy as one of Spain’s most enduring rock acts. Culturally, Porretas is a symbol of resilience and grassroots artistry. Their music resonates with fans across generations, bridging the gap between punk’s rebellious roots and contemporary rock’s evolving landscape. Collaborations with artists like Ska-P and Boikot have further cemented their place in the Spanish rock canon. Currently, Porretas continues to tour and release new music, proving that their fire hasn’t dimmed. Their latest album, *Porretas 35*, celebrates over three decades of unrelenting passion, showcasing a band that remains as vital and defiant as ever.
