Grupo Salvaje - "Aquí Hay Dragones"

“Here be dragons” was an expression used by the first cartographers to describe the unexplored regions of the world. These faraway lands were conjured up to be hostile, harsh and hazardous places. It was a clear warning signal, a call to pacify the adventurer’s heart. However, it is a known fact that the brave like to rise to the challenge and would see “Aquí hay dragones” as the ideal path to follow. This record is a tribute to dreamers and losers - who are, more often than not, the same people. Ernesto González was the lead singer of Pribata Idaho, one of Spain’s leading indie bands of the 90s. After the group’s lamented separation, Ernesto joined forces with Carlos, Javier, Óscar and Pepe, celebrating the birth of Grupo Salvaje – whose name pays homage to Sam Peckinpah’s film “The Wild Bunch”. “In Black We Trust”, released in 2003, was a blaze. A blaze because the album was made up of nine songs of staggering intensity; a blaze because without intending to be conceptual, it achieved a succinct unity, where Ernesto’s powerful voice and the waves of the guitars were fortified on a rock solid rhythmic foundation.
