First their style was asociated to the noise pop of Los Planetas (Granada is near Loja) but later the 60s revival influences with rich vocal harmonies related them with other granadian band: Los Ángeles.
They have produced two EPs, La Caza and Ya Lo Sabes, and three LPs, "Viaje De Estudios", "Hostal Pimodan" and "Cronolánea".

Caravana
Lori Meyers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
otro futuro, otra dirección.
Él preguntó qué hubo que apostar.
La caravana comenzó a rodar sin mirar atrás.
Van hacia el norte,
quién pregunta la ciudad,
sólo pueden rezar.
Vuelven al sur con satisfacción,
mentes cegadas con gran ilusión.
Todo por hoy, larga es la función,
se nos desgasta hasta el corazón
al decir adiós.
Vuelven de noche,
no les gusta madrugar,
y en la carretera están.
Vuelven de noche,
no les gusta madrugar,
y en la carretera están.
Van hacia el norte,
quién pregunta la ciudad,
sólo pueden rezar.
Vuelven de noche,
no les gusta madrugar,
y en la carretera están.
The lyrics of Lori Meyers's song Caravana describe a group of people who decide to take a chance and embark on a journey towards a new life. The first verse sets the scene on a sunny day, where they come up with the idea of a new future and a different direction. One of them asks what they need to bet, and the caravan starts rolling without looking back. The chorus describes their journey towards the north, where they are oblivious of their destination and can only hope to arrive safely.
The second verse describes their journey back to the south with satisfaction and excitement in their minds but wear and tear on their hearts. It seems that their journey is a tiresome one, but they are willing to do it again and again. They return home late in the evening and are not morning people, preferring to be on the road at night. The chorus repeats again, describing their journey towards the north and their return journey towards the south.
The song's lyrics suggest a great sense of adventure, freedom, and the courage to take risks in life. It portrays a spirit of wanderlust, a thirst for new experiences, and a willingness to take the road less traveled. The lyrics give the impression that the journey is the destination, that despite the hardships and uncertainties, it is better to take chances than to stagnate in mundane existence.
