CAFE QUIJANO (SPAIN)

They have been on the road for more than 20 years, crowning hit lists, celebrating awards and achieving international nominations"¦ But the most important thing is that Café Quijano have been making us happier for more than two decades and exhibiting our music throughout Latin America, the United States and Spain. Manolo, Oscar and Raúl Quijano became internationally popular at the dawn of the new millennium with "˜La Lola'™, achieving in the year 2000 to be the first Spanish group nominated for an American Grammy. Two decades after those first great successes, Café Quijano continues to enjoy global recognition, from the industry, and unwavering loyalty from the general public. And this is due to the fact that the group continues to increase and marinate its talent and inspiration, as demonstrated by its recent album "˜Manhattan'™ which they are currently presenting on tour throughout the country"¦ an album that last March reached Number 1 in physical sales just a few days after its release. their placement in stores. "La Jamaicana", "Ven a ver amanecer", "Manhattan" or "Ayer se fue" are the new hits from an active Café Quijano ready to celebrate their status as classics of our music. Café Quijano began recording their first demos in 1996, achieving their first successes in 1998 with their first self-titled album and especially in 1999 with the album "La extraña paradoja del Sonido Quijano". In those years of cultural globalization, the trio from León established itself as the group that best represented Latin music in our country. And without a doubt, this gift has made them go through a long-term career that has remained faithful to their musical principles"¦ whether making classic boleros or creating contemporary pop that is inevitable to enjoy at the best parties. Nine studio albums, one live album, dozens of awards and nominations back up a solid career and a sweet present. Collaborations with artists of the stature of Armando Manzanero, Santana, Celine Dion, Joaquín Sabina, Mijares or with new generation groups such as Taburete endorse the respect and artistic admiration that the Leonese group continues to arouse among artists from different continents and eras. After some difficult times, Café Quijano continues among us to continue making us celebrate life with their music, with their elegance and with their loyalty to our Hispanic and Latin music.
