Rarely, very rarely, does a band burst onto the scene with such force as Derby Motoreta’s Burrito Kachimba did. Since one Friday, February 23, 2018 “El salto del gitano” blew our heads off -literally-, the Sevillians have grown by leaps and bounds. Deprisa, deprisa. Instant signing by Primavera Labels, a bunch of formidable singles, that great debut LP of the same name and a string of live shows that not only spread like wildfire but also set fires wherever they went. The miracle was done and the kinkidelia, their own cult with a pantheon of gods and goddesses between the lysergic and the macabre, was underway. Unstoppable. “Why Derby Motoreta’s Burrito Kachimba will be the next great Spanish band”, predicted Fernando Navarro in his article for El País, in which he praised the multiple virtues of a combo in a state of grace, ready to captain the umpteenth -and necessary- regeneration of national rock. The oracle did not fail in his predictions. Collaborations with Rocío Márquez and Kiko Veneno, mentions in international headers such as Billboard and Remezcla, appearances on sets as coveted as those of “La Resistencia” and “Late Motiv”, and festivals here, there and beyond. And the Ruido Award for Best National Album inherited, that’s nothing, from Rosalía. Only a pandemic could stop these neighborhood kids hungry to eat the world. And not even for that. Because our DMBK, as they are known in the family, took advantage of this forced lapse to get involved in the return of the quinqui cinema -how not- to our screens, starring in the soundtrack of “Las leyes de la frontera”, the successful film by Daniel Monzón based on the novel by Javier Cercas, winner of no less than five Goya awards. But also, and this is what all his faithful fans were waiting for, to simmer his second album. “Hilo negro” elevates the band’s sound with hits such as ‘Gitana’ (now the soundtrack of the new Cruzcampo spot) or ‘El Valle’ consolidates its authors as prophets in their land while doing the same with kinkidelia as the fashionable religion. Amen.

The tour of the album takes them all over our country and also to the USA, Mexico, Chile and Argentina, beginning to lay the foundations of their cult across the pond. After the tour the band hides again to cook their next step, the third album of their career and their most ambitious work to date. The album reflects the growth and evolution of the Sevillians in pursuit of a more detailed sound and more open in influences, although the signs of identity are maintained, especially in accurate rock shots like “La Fuente” or “El Chinche”. The band is now embarking on a presentation tour that will keep them busy until 2025, with stops at festivals such as Primavera Sound, BBK Live, Mallorca Live Festival, Tomavistas or Vida Festival. Before this the band embarks on shows in Madrid, Seville and Barcelona.
