The story behind
The song *Paris* by La Oreja de Van Gogh, with its duration of 3:46, transports us to a particular moment in the band's evolution. This track is from their second album, El viaje de Copperpot, released in September 2000. The album's title, incidentally, has a curious connection to the 1985 film, The Goonies, referencing a character named Chester Copperpot. This particular album marked a turning point for the band from San Sebastián, moving slightly away from their initial sound, the Donosti Sound, to explore Power Pop more. Catchy melodies and carefree lyrics were the pillars that supported this work, which became their best-selling and one of the most appreciated by many of their followers.
The group, originally from the Basque Country, formally began their journey in 1996, founded by Pablo Benegas, Álvaro Fuentes, Xabi San Martín, Haritz Garde, and the voice of Amaia Montero. Although they are primarily associated with pop-rock, throughout their career they have incorporated influences from genres as diverse as ranchera, bossa nova, and electronic music. The popularity of La Oreja de Van Gogh has extended beyond Spain, reaching Latin America and several European countries. Despite their impact being smaller in some of these places, the band undertook tours that included performances in cities like Paris, in venues such as La Cigale and L'Olympia, and visited other corners of Europe like Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
