Hechos Contra El Decoro

Formed in mid-March 1995, the Spanish collective Hechos Contra El Decoro stepped onto a stage for the first time on March 30 of that year. Angel Lara, who performs as Ruso, joined Andrés Belmonte, Nacho Murgi, and José to establish the group two weeks before the debut show. Singer and keyboardist Eva Reina, drummer Ramiro Tersee, guitarist Alfonso Arias, and trumpet player Angelo Mancini later completed the ensemble. The musicians laid down their earliest material on a self-produced demo, Bailamos y Combatimos, which El Gato Salvaje and Potencial Hardcore then circulated. Esan Ozenki/Gora Herriak released the band’s debut album, Rabiamuffin, in 1997. Merging hip-hop, Latin ska, jazz fusion, and reggae, Hechos Contra El Decoro resurfaced in 1999 with Danza De Los Nadie while also scoring Fernando León’s film Barrio. That year brought drummer Chuchi González and singer Gemma Herrero, known as Minsa, into the fold, directly leading to Línea de Fuga.
