Markos, Glaucia and Rodolfo, launched the group in 2002, with the intention of giving a broader sense of friendship to their union. Drawing on the creativity and technical potential of each of them, thus are forging a project where the sound was merged with the visual. Their carefully done lyrics are often embedded with experimental poetry.Diego Antúnez, Nono Blázquez and Juni, joined a little later. Musicians highly experienced in various formations. COMANDO MACONDO is a project “transibérico”, against border and bilingual, because their lyrics combine Spanish and Portuguese. Its members are almost all Spanish from Extremadura and Brazilian residents in both countries, Spain and Portugal. An exotic dish with appetising ingredients…
