Biografia
Mamita Papaya is a band based in Madrid, a standard bearer of jaleo, dance and musical exploration. Fruitful journey brought from different parts of the peninsula (Madrid, Seville, Navarra and La Mancha), where songs emerge with funky groove, flamenco touches, Latin rhythms and a revitalisation of pop-rock without renouncing the roots.
In their latest album ‘9 DE ESPADAS’, produced by Raúl Pérez (La Mina), 9 songs are uncovered, each one represented by a letter and connected names.
The 9 of Swords is the name of a famous tarot card, it signals that you should slow down your brain activity and often comes hand in hand with anxiety. If we were to cast the cards on our society, there is no doubt that it would appear again and again. And what do we do to remedy this? We wish we knew, but for now all we can think of is for you to listen to our music and take a little journey with us. Starting by appreciating the simplest things in life, which are often the most important, or getting nostalgic and remembering a love that was so fiery that it ended up burning you to death. Of taking sides, putting on the superhero cape, and shitting on the traitors who treat other people badly, only to realise that the cape was never needed, and it was all a question of attitude. Sometimes, in this voracious society, it doesn't hurt to procrastinate a little, despite being told otherwise. So much so that sometimes the best way to move forward is to stop and have a drink in your favourite bar. Maybe on this journey you've realised that we live in a fucking hell, and even when you think nothing else can go wrong, life gives you a setback and sticks a dagger in you again. But the most important thing about this journey is that in the end there is always light, there is always calm.
Recording throughout his career with producers such as Carlangas (Estudio Silencio), Brais Ruibal (Estudios Reno), Colectivo Panamera or Dodosound, with iconic national venues and festivals behind him, a party with a unique energy where without losing freshness, the fruit is already ripe.
