La Banda Trapera Del Rio

La Banda Trapera del Río was a rock band formed in 1976. Founded by Miguel Ángel Sánchez Tenedor, who used the nicknames “El Morfi” and “Morfi Grei”, the group is considered a precursor to punk in Spain. Their first single, “La regla” / “Rock cloaca” (1978), was followed by the self-titled album La Banda Trapera del Río (1979). They were active between 1976 and 1982. La Banda Trapera del Río reunited in 1993 and released the albums Guante de guillotina (1993), Directo a los cojones (1994), and Mentemblanco (1995). The band disbanded in 1996 but returned for tours and releases, including the album Quemando el futuro (2019). Tenedor passed away in 2024.
