Biography
In 2001 the Mora siblings—Pablo on vocals and guitar, Patricia at the keyboards with additional vocals, and José on bass and guitar—teamed up with guitarist Chema Buhigas to launch the Madrid-based Spanish pop outfit Lagarto Amarillo. Their first full-length release, Que la Suerte Te Acompañe, appeared in 2003, yet widespread attention arrived only in 2007 once the song “Cuéntame” from the follow-up album Distinto was picked as the central theme for the immensely popular series Cuéntame Como Pasó. Buhigas exited the lineup shortly afterward, leaving the remaining three members to proceed as a trio; they later issued Estoy Mintiendo de Verdad in 2012. The band’s bright, upbeat pop sound gains its particular flavor from an easy blending of rumba, rap, Latin, and broader world-music influences.
