We officially started our concerts in 2000, playing Irish music, fusing it with funk and blues, take a look at our beginnings.

We have always chosen the path of self-management, there is no doubt that it is harder and more complicated, but it allows us to have total freedom to develop artistically.

In 2001, we self-released our first Los Niño de los Ojos Rojos album “Venga Enseguía” of which we sold the 2,000 copies we released.

Between 2002-2003, new members arrived at Los Niños de Los Ojos Rojos, and we began to include Balkan Rhythms, Hip-hop, Rock or Ska in the new songs, thus achieving a unique and unmatched sound, which we call Hard Folk .

In 2004 we were co-stars in the documentary by Montxo Armendáriz and Luis Pastor “Escenario Móvil”. We also collaborated on its soundtrack by participating in the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2007, a memorable performance on the promenade of Playa de la Concha.

After two years in the recording studio, we released our second album: “Hijos del humo”. To date we have sold more than 15,000 units and we have the collaboration of the Celtas Cortos vocalist, Jesús Cifuentes, or Diego Antúnez, renowned Extremaduran flutist.

We have participated in concerts and festivals throughout its geography, highlighting the performances within the Arredas Folk Festival, or impressive concerts at the National Theater in the “Praça do Rossio” in Lisbon.

From 2008 to 2010 we visited Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Tuzla wave Festival , we can highlight in 2009 the Belgrad Beer Fest . But until March 2010 we did not consolidate in these countries. We performed our first tour of eight concerts in sold-out venues in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, etc... With a spectacular promotional campaign, being the only Spanish band to achieve this acceptance by the Balkan public.

In 2010 we released our third album: “I See Everything Clear”, in which we continue with our commitment to independent and avant-garde music based on European folk of traditional Irish, Extremadura, Greek or Balkan origin, fused with more modern rhythms such as hip hop, disco, reggae, ska or funky. This genre of music we call Hard Folk . With luxury collaborations among which it is worth highlighting Jorge Pardo (Paco de Lucía, Camarón, etc...).

In 2015-2016, we performed our 15th Anniversary tour and we can say that after hundreds of concerts in these 15 years, Los niños de los ojos rojo have made a name for ourselves, earning the respect of the public and the promoters.

So much so, that in 2016, we had the immense honor of playing the Hymn of Extremadura on Extremadura Day , (in the style of Los Niños de los Ojos Rojos, of course), at the Roman Theater in Mérida.

At the end of 2017, we released our fourth album “Regreso a la Comarca”.
