Tequila (band)
Tequila was an Argentine-Spanish rock band, active between 1976 and 1983. The group consisted of Ariel Rot, Alejo Stivel, Julián Infante, Felipe Lipe and Manolo Iglesias. Tequila was one of the most popular bands in the early years of democracy in Spain.
Tequila emerged after the fall of the Franco regime, years before la Movida Madrileña days. Their music was influenced by artists such as Chuck Berry and The Rolling Stones, a sound very different from the symphonic rock and urban rock groups predominant on the Spanish scene at the time. Songs like Salta!!, Quiero besarte, Me Vuelvo Loco, and Rock and Roll en la plaza del pueblo, catapulted the five Tequila members to stardom.
