The Nativos

The Nativos emerged in the mid-1980s as a supergroup committed to rock and guitar revivalism. Members included Esteban Hirschfeld (Nacha Pop, Gabinete Caligari, Los Rápidos), L.M. García Villalpando "Jimmy" (vocals), Antonio Fidel (Los Rápidos), Santi Agudo (Ciudad Jardín), and Alfonso Lantero (Pistones). Even Josele Santiago (Los Enemigos) ended up playing with them. 

They only recorded one EP, 'She Belongs To Me' (Producciones Twins, 1986), with four tracks -three of which are covers- that smacks of sixties guitars from the start, produced by Paul Collins and recorded at the legendary Track studios in Madrid under the supervision of Paco Martín. 

They included some tracks on various compilations -“She Belongs to Me” on '¿Dónde Estabas tú en el... 86?' (DRO, 1993) and 'Maxi Pop 7' (Contraseña, 2004)- and the Rockdelux magazine released in June 1986 a flexi disc shared with Johnny Thunders. 

With hardly any promotion, the band ended up splitting up shortly afterwards. They left us with a recommended short album, but the important thing was their commitment to rock. At a time when the new wave and pop of the Movida were beginning to show signs of exhaustion, The Nativos were a breath of fresh air and one of the first attempts at a rock revival on the Spanish scene.
