Biography
Formed in 1991, the Latin folk-rock group Christina y los Subterraneos took shape once Christina Rosenvinge—whose earlier projects included Ella y los Neumaticos, Magia Blanca, and a partnership with guitarist Alex de la Nuez—chose to launch a fresh ensemble. The successful album Que Me Parta Un Rayo drew on the talents of several musicians, among them Antonio García, Francisco Varona, Juan Luis Jiménez, and Alejo Stivel. By 1994 the band’s roster featured ex-Los Enanitos Verdes keyboardist Tito Dávila alongside drummer Sergio Castillo, bassist Elsa Fernández, and guitarist David Gwin. That year also saw the release of Mi Pequeño Animal, which included contributions from Andrés Calamaro. In 1996 the Latin rock ensemble took part in the tribute album Mucho Tequila!, honoring the Spanish-Argentine pop/rock outfit Tequila, delivering the track “Nena.” Following the 1997 issuance of Cerrado, Christina y los Subterraneos captured an acoustic live set titled Flores Raras.
