This article is about rock music from Spain, for rock music sung in Spanish see Rock en español
Spain has produced a great variety of rock and roll, but the most distinctive style may be flamenco-rock. Flamenco-rock is a fusion of flamenco, the folk music of the Spanish Gypsies, with progressive rock. Some of the most well-known examples of this scene from its 1970s heydey are the bands Smash, Crack, Gotic (Escenes, 1977), Iman Califato Independiente (Iman Califato Independiente), Iceberg (Coses Nostres), Mezquita and Triana....
There have also been a number of acts, primarily from Galicia, who have incorporated the Celtic musical heritage of that region into Celtic rock.
Spain's largest and oldest rock music scene is in Barcelona (and in nearby areas of Catalonia), closely followed by Madrid. There are also large scenes in the large cities of the Basque Country such as Bilbao and San Sebastian, and in Valencia, but bands and venues exist throughout the country.
But nowadays Flamenco-Rock is out of date, new groups had born, addopting a punk style and composing about concrete things. More modern groups like Marea, La Fuga, Extremoduro, Reincidentes, the classic band Heroes del Silencio, and other mixed styles with ska (Ska-p) are the most listened.
