Spain’s pop sensation is way more than an enigmatic name. Sure, we’re also wondering why you’d name your band after the removed appendage of a long-gone Dutch painter, but what’s made them famous is their music. "El último vals" is a song inspired by Martin Scorsese’s film The Last Waltz.

The beautiful Leire Martínez had the difficult challenge to fill Amaia Motero's shoes as lead singer of the Spanish pop band “La Oreja de Van Gogh”. In “Inmortal”, she sings about all the little things from the past that we keep and carry with us; but it’s also about all the possibilities that the future brings. Her final words seem to be fitting to her role in “La Oreja”: “I’ll be your destiny.”

This Puerto Rican band wasn’t on the island from the get-go. Two of La Secta’s members, Mark and Gustavo, met in Orlando during school and then moved to Miami Beach. There, they met up with John and Carlos and started writing songs. The message of their album Fuego, which shines through in “Déjalos que hablen,” is, according to John, “to be positive in the face of a moment of so many changes in the world.”
