“We made “Besos” to sing it wearing bell-bottom pants as a tribute to Spanish songs from the 70s. The lyrics talk about how incredible it is to kiss the person you love…”
Watching the accompanying video to this song (below), I was just thinking what a couple of dudes these two look in their monster-collared shirts with their big hair and cool tashes!! Then I read the statement I’ve pasted above and it it made sense! This is their tribute to the 70’s!
Besos is the latest single from the wild fingerpicking duo, Yo Diablo! Hailing from Valencia in Spain, these guitar masters specialise in Desert Blues Trash and Rock’n’Roll with songs that “talk about mosquitoes, snakes, cats and other terrible animals, and will make you lose your mind with only a drummer and a guitar player”…
Consisting of Marcos Herrero on guitars/vocals/whistles/marimba and Victor Vila on drums/percussions/backing vocals, this pair have been releasing their music for a few years now – and featured on the LP Blog at the end of last year!
Besos unleashes its power in a rolling wave of hot-strung guitars and smouldering percussion. A whirring delight of fiery thunder, I also like how the vocals flesh out that base layer!
It’s such a great song and it releases today – find that HERE!!!

Wow… this song has insane momentum, and you can never go wrong with good nylon string instrumentation. And those crunchy vocals!! Definitely gonna have to look into this band more.

Damn, they are good!! They’ve nailed down a nice gritty, swept tone, especially on that guitar. I liked a lot of the second half tracks on their 2023 self-titled you posted, Y.N.T.M.A. perhaps the most. Will absolutely have to listen to more of their stuff as well!!

So glad you liked! I have to say that even to this day, they are one of the finest bands I’ve seen live. Their music is superb to listen to, but when they are live, it seems to take this sound to a whole new dimension…and the drumming was mesmerising to watch! Y.N.T.M.A is a superb track, EX choice!!
