Someone told me the song was written by Santiago Segura, who is probably the greatest human being that has ever existed.

You have to see the trilogy of movies called "Torrente" while you´re there Kate. You just have to.

These dispatches are great... and El Chiquichiqui alone was worth it... also, there's no good reason to spend time in Salamanca unless you're a rich old fascist or a Real Madrid fan (or both)... but do check out Nuevos Medios - they were pretty much the soundtrack to La Movida back in the day and launched some pretty great acts like Pata Negra and Ketama (before they got totally corny).

I'll have a look into Calle 54 and Nuevos Medias, though I don't spend much time in Salamanca, and I only have about two more weeks in the country, so I can't promise miracles.

Like Fernando Trueba's Calle 54 label or Mario Pacheco's Nuevos Media's records? Some of that Nuevo Flamenco/ Flamenco Jazz stuff is pretty spectacular - like Concha Buika:

Would love to get an update on that stuff, too (like is Trueba's club in Barrio Salamanca still around?)... Spain is more than just goofy pop music.. even in Madrid...

Chambao is like the major label corporate version of Ojos de Brujo. I remember when Estopa first broke a few years back and the Spanish music press was billing them as "The Gallagher Brothers of El Rumba" - like it was a good thing.

Still they did make this song with El Peret:

How do I say this ... THROWDINI!
