Two years after their first album in 1999, the band released the album ''Arren Erro Zaharra'' with 'Mil A Gritos' Records that was confirmation. Songs like ''Arren Erro Zaharra'' or ''Verde'' became hits. A year later the group p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
