About

From the fertile Valencian lands of Spain emerged La Raíz, a collective whose music is less a performance and more a socio-political rallying cry set to a blistering soundtrack. More than just a band, they're a sonic revolution, blending ska's upbeat energy with rap's incisive lyricism, reggae's laid-back grooves, rock's raw power, and the traditional sounds of their homeland. This potent mix creates a fiery and unique sound they've dubbed "patriotic party rock." Formed in Gandía in 2005, La Raíz steadily built a devoted following through relentless touring and independently released albums like "El Lado de los Rebeldes" (2011) and "Así en el Cielo como en la Selva" (2013). Their breakthrough came with "Entre Poetas y Presos" (2016), a critically acclaimed album that showcased their evolved sound and cemented their status as a leading voice of social consciousness in Spanish music. Known for their explosive live shows, La Raíz created a space for connection and resistance. While now on hiatus since 2018, their music continues to resonate deeply, inspiring a generation with their unflinching commentary on social injustice, political corruption, and the human struggle for a better world. Their legacy remains a testament to the power of music as a force for change, leaving an indelible mark on the Spanish music scene and beyond.
