A year with Alcalá Norte: a dysfunctional group facing the challenge of their second album
The authors of ‘La vida cañón’ want to demonstrate with their second album, ‘Dejémoslo como estaba’, that they are much more than the neighborhood band that composed an anthem with an 80s pop flavor. The album is released on November 4th after months of surreal scenes like their songs.
The band Alcalá Norte is having a rough day while recording their new album in a Madrid studio. The members are experiencing various health issues, including a throat infection and vomiting. The band's singer, Álvaro Rivas, discusses his struggles with writing catchy songs and mentions a conversation with Jota, the leader of Los Planetas, who thinks Alcalá Norte will always be a niche group.
The band's keyboardist, Laura de Diego, advises Rivas not to pay too much attention to Jota's comments. This is happening in November 2025, a year before the release of Alcalá Norte's second album.
