title: Bonanza (Panda album)
text: # Bonanza (Panda album)
  
  Bonanza is the sixth studio album by Mexican rock band Panda, released on 16 March 2012, through Movic and EMI Records. The album's name is an irony towards its songs' melancholy lyrics and frontman Jose Madero's desire to wrote them in a dramatic sense.
  
  It was certified gold after selling over 30,000 copies in Mexico. The album turned to a "garage band" sound, following a leaning to their original pop punk sound they kickstarted in their first two albums, Arroz Con Leche and La Revancha Del Príncipe Charro, while maintaining an alternative rock presence on the entire record.
