The name Mal de Ojo (or the evil eye) reflects the spirit that characterises this group, formed 10 years ago with the clear intention of entertaining others while at the same time having a thoroughly good time themselves – something they have achieved on both accounts. From their stable cornerstone of rumba, the happiest branch of flamenco, they experiment with everything from son to pasodoble and any other style of Latin music that gets your feet tapping.

Adrian Perez, the oldest member and charismatic frontman of the group knows what he’s saying and, above all, knows how to say it.
