History.
The beginnings of the band are in the fiesta and friendship. It was formed in 2004 in the Aragonese town of Ejea de los Caballeros (Zaragoza). A young woman wanted to celebrate her hen party with a brass band and got in touch with a friend, Ángel Mójica, who gathered a few others and gave their first public performance. The founders or first members took part in it: Miguel Ángel Laita and his brother Roberto Carlos, Andrés Lasilla and Ángel Mójica. They had a lot of fun with the experience, and the band started to work.
In its first days, the repertoire of Artistas del Gremio included cover versions and popular songs. With these songs they toured the festivals of the towns and cities of Spain. Soon they began to compose their own songs, such as ""Dame una A", the adaptation of "La Sandía" or the songs that appear in "¡¡¡Viva el deskontrol!!!"", as well as different remixes ("Supertechnomegamix" Vol.1, "Punkpurrí..."). Gradually this kind of songs became popular in Spanish popular parties.   
They stand out for their original attire -they always perform in miniskirts and for their shows of music, theater and humor in interaction with the audience.
In 2010 they recorded the original soundtrack for the film "Que se mueran los feos", directed by Nacho García Velilla. In 2013 they were "superfinalists" in the television contest "Tú sí que vales", which meant a media step and a boost of visibility at national level. In 2016 they starred in and co-produced the autobiographical documentary film Sol, furgoneta y manta, which tells the story of the charanga's struggles and lifestyle, with special emphasis on the path that allowed them to turn music into their way of life.
Artistas del Gremio was the band of the program "Avispas &amp; Tomates" on Aragón TV during the 2006-2007 season and participated in the New Year's Eve galas of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 on the same channel. The band appeared occasionally in other programs such as "Aftersún", "Sin ir más lejos", "Objetivo", "Anochece que no es poco", "Aragón en abierto", "¿Te suena?" and "Lo sabe, no lo sabe".
In 2019 they were selected for the "Girando por Salas" (GPS) circuit, a tour that was finally cancelled on the occasion of COVID-19.
With a repertoire that ranges in age, the band plays about 120 performances a year. They have also performed in solidarity shows for children with cancer in Aragon (ASPANOA).
In 2021, the band is composed of 9 musicians: Miguel Ángel Laita (trumpet), Jaime Olite (trumpet), Roberto Laita (trombone), Víctor Mateo (trombone), Carlos Sagaste (saxophone), Alejandro Burges (saxophone), Felipe Martins (sousaphone), Ángel Mójica (percussion) and Andrés Lasilla (percussion).

The album Butibamba, produced during the Covid-19 pandemic, was the result of a crowdfunding campaign on the Verkami platform.
The song that gives name to the album "Butibamba", previous to the rest of the tracks, was created through the funding of "Girando Por Salas" -10th edition. Butibamba is captured in a videoclip.
