Duncan Dhu

Pop-meets-rockabilly group Duncan Dhu were formed in San Sebastian in 1984 by musicians Mikel Erentxun, Diego Vasallo, and Juan Ramon Viles. The band's debut disc, Por Tierras Escocesas, hit the market hard, selling more than 175,000 copies. Duncan Dhu's sophomore release, El Grito del Tiempo, met and exceeded the high sales expectations set by its predecessor, selling around 400,000 copies in 1987. After Viles left the group to pursue a solo career, Vasallo followed suit thereafter, and Duncan Dhu was put on hold. The group made its return to the limelight in 1992 with the release of Supernova. A series of solo follow-up records soon followed, including Naufragios (Erentxun) and Realidad Virtual de Rock 'n' Roll (Vasallo). ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
