“La Santa Compaña” Folklore Gets Las Gargantas Twist

Songs have always carried our stories, haven’t they? It’s one of humanity’s oldest traditions—passing down tales through melody and verse.

Las Gargantas takes this ancient practice and gives it a rebellious twist on their latest track.

Released with perfect timing on Halloween, "La Santa Compaña" transforms a dark Spanish folklore tale into something unexpectedly upbeat. The original story? A ghostly procession that signals impending death.

The single kicks off with this absolutely crunchy guitar rhythm that immediately grabs you. It builds into what can only be described as an anthem for troublemakers everywhere, featuring bold lyrics like "la soledad es nuestra amiga/dejamos mierda en cada esquina" (loneliness is our friend, we leave shit in every corner).

The whole arrangement? It’s like watching a poltergeist dance over a death omen. Honestly brilliant.

Las Gargantas has been crafting their unique sound since 2019, blending punk energy with indie-pop sensibilities. Clean guitar leads meet irresistibly catchy vocal melodies in their work.
