Their mix reached styles such as Heavy, Rock&Roll or Blues, but is rooted in Flamenco. Chicho is the band leader. Furthermore, the band tries to take both a poetic and political (social justice) approach to their music
The sense of humor in their songs tends to be bitter.
The band dissolved in 2007 but you can still find Chicho (lead singer) in the central bars of Seville...talking about what he sings, or singing about what he talks...

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando la levanta el aire
Se convierten en estrellas
Ay en estrellas
Y yo quisiera ser el cielo
Para quedarme con ellas
Con ellas
Leile leile leile leileeeee
Leile leile leile leileeeee
Porque el amor
Y es como el fuego
Que si te acerca te quema
Y si te alejas el calor no llega
Porque el amor
Y es como el fuego
Que si te acerca te quema
Y si te alejas el calor no llega
Leile leile leile leileeeee
Leile leile leile leileeeee
Y a veces pienso
Que la violeta
De la flor es la más bella
Y es la más bella
Y es porque tiene
Ojillos del ciello
Ojillos del cielo
Los ojitos de la tierra
Y a veces pienso
Que la violeta
De la flor es la más bella
Y es la más bella
Y es porque tiene
Ojillos del ciello
Ojillos del cielo
Los ojitos de la tierra
Leile leile leile leileeeee
Leile leile leile leileeeee
