My favourite band is La Oreja de van gogh. It is Spanish band and it was formed in San Sebastián in 1996. The name of the band references the famous post-impressionist painter Vicent van Gogh who cut off the lobe of this own ear. The original members were Pablo Benegas, Álvaro Fuentes, Xabi San Martín, Hartiz Garde and Leire Martínez. Their poetic sons, both lyrics and music, are written by Pablo Benegas in collaboration with Xabi San Martín. The themes of their songs usually include love, friend-ship and whatever can success in relationships.
Since 1996, they have sold more than 6 million copies worldwive of their four albums. In 2007, lead singer Amaia Montero announced that she would be leaving the group to begin a solo career. In 2008 Amaia Montero was replaced by Leire Martínez.
Their first album, Dile al sol, debuted in 1998. It went to the top of the Spanish musics charts, and won the Premio Ondas. After numerous tours, the group released two more albums: El viaje de Copperpot and Lo que te Conté mientras te hacias la dormida.
Some of their albums are expensive, so, a lot of people download the music by internet, it is easy but illegal. Most of their best-known songs are funny for the people.
