It seems sad concerts with empty chairs, safe distance, masks and COVID tests are already outdated. There is nothing better to celebrate it than a huge joint party between musicians and fans. That is what the euphoric merger of Spanish bands La Pegatina and Efecto Pasillo is achieving.

Both groups recently published the joint song “Ahípami,” and afterwards, they scheduled a joint tour. That was the atmosphere at their concerts last weekend in Zaragoza and Barcelona, ​​and it will be repeated on the pending dates throughout Spain. Valencia and Murcia are two of the next stops. Frenetic rumba, rock and ska rhythms are the musical themes of the concert that shake your body from the first minute.

In the performances, the two groups play their best songs, something appreciated by the audience.

"Last weekend the concerts with La Pegatina were a real madness," said members of Efecto Pasillo. Their stage partners said “you could see how eager we all were on our faces. We went to sleep very happy. The times we shared were a shot of energy.”

In the videos published of the concerts, they look like one single band has been playing together all their lives. The performance in Zaragoza was defined as "the best tour start we could have, millions of thanks for making us feel so good."

The formula that is shaking the hips of the attendees will not lead to a long-term merger. 'Efecto Pegatina' is not permanent, and only for the joint tour.

“It was born from the good energy emerged during the recording of the song, which has hit very hard,” they explained in an interview on Cadena 100 radio.

They promise attendees will find a boom of fun and party.

"The idea is that we mix on stage and that our audiences, who are different in principle, come together," they said.

La Pegatina started its career in 2003, then under the name Pegatina Sound System. After releasing their first album Al Carrer! in 2007, their popularity skyrocketed as they performed at countless popular festivals. They mix languages ​​such as Catalan, Spanish and Galician, and include collaborations with Txarango, Manu Chao and Che Sudaka.

Their music spread throughout Europe and Latin America despite not being part of the mainstream music industry. Their latest album Darle la vuelta (2020) was the group's seventh album. Before the pandemic, they performed in Argentina, Mexico and Ecuador.

Efecto Pasillo was founded on the island of Gran Canaria in 2007. They debuted with the song "Chacho" in 2010. Their musical style combines different sounds such as rock, pop, funk and Latin music.

Although each band has its own legion of fans, now is the time to enjoy them together as 'Efecto Pegatina.'
