El Canto el Loco (sometimes abbreviated ECDL) is a Spanish pop rock band, although its members recognize that some of their songs are more in the style of power pop. The group was created in 1994 by Dani Marin and Ivan Ganchegui (Ivan later left the group in 2002), although the final five members wouldn’t come together until years later. Influenced mainly by other Spanish groups from the 1980s and with five studio albums, El Canto del Loco has gone on to sell more than a million albums, making them one of the most important bands currently on the Spanish music scene.
