About La M.O.D.A.

La M.O.D.A., an acronym for “La Moda de las Montañas,” which translates to “The Fashion of the Mountains,” emerged from the vibrant music scene of Burgos, Spain, in 2011. Initially a quartet, the band has since expanded to a more fluid ensemble, celebrated for its eclectic instrumentation that often features mandolins, accordions, and violins alongside more traditional rock elements. Their sound is a compelling fusion of folk, rock, punk, and even hints of bluegrass, creating a rich tapestry of influences that is distinctly their own.

Their debut album, ¿Ya no caben en el mundo las sonrisas? (Do Smiles No Longer Fit in the World?) released in 2013, immediately garnered critical attention for its lyrical maturity and infectious energy. This was swiftly followed by La Ramita de Peral (The Pear Twig) in 2015, which further solidified their reputation for crafting deeply personal and often poignant songs. It was with their third album, Salónima (2017), that La M.O.D.A. truly broke through to a wider audience. This critically acclaimed record showcased a more refined sound and explored themes of identity, memory, and the complexities of human relationships with remarkable depth. Hits like “Héroes del Sábado” (Saturday Heroes) and “Das Ist Mein Ding” (This is My Thing) became anthems for a generation, resonating with their unflinching honesty and anthemic choruses.

Their subsequent releases, including the eagerly anticipated El Poeta Halcón (The Falcon Poet) in 2021, have continued to push their sonic boundaries while maintaining their core ethos. La M.O.D.A.’s music is characterised by its raw vulnerability, with lead singer Jorge Fonseca’s emotive vocals at the forefront, conveying a sense of both urgency and tenderness. Their live shows are legendary for their unbridled passion and the palpable connection they forge with their audience, transforming every venue into a shared space of catharsis and celebration.
