Spanish pop rock band
Maldita Nerea (English: Darn Nerea) is a Spanish pop/rock band.
History.
The group originated in Murcia. They started with small concerts in the city and then Salamanca, where Jorge moved to continue his studies of speech therapy. These concerts were successful and the band became popular.
They attracted the attention of Universal Music and in October 2003, their debut album "Cuarto creciente" was released. In 2007, following the first album and their departure from Universal, Jorge Ruiz decided that the next release would be self-published. Called "El secreto de las tortugas", it was released on "Cuarto Creciente Producciones". In 2009 they released the album "Es un secreto... No se lo digas a nadie", which featured remastered versions of previously released songs.
During 2010, the band had a hit with the song "Cosas que suenan a..." which reached number 1 on iTunes (in Spain) and was credited as iTunes Song of the Year.
In 2011, they released their album "Fácil" and announced a tour of Spain and an additional date in London. In that year, they recorded the song "Bienvenidos a nuestro Clan" for the TVE Clan shorts programme "Clanners".
The band's 2017 single "Bailarina", from the album of the same name, was chosen as the official anthem of the 72nd edition of the Vuelta a España cycling race and was performed live at the team presentation on 17 August 2017 in Nîmes. The video for the song was also shot there.
