Pamplona (Spain) (1982 – present)

Barricada is a hard rock band from Pamplona (Spain) formed in 1982

Originaly formed by Enrique Villareal “El Drogas” (bassist and vocalist), José (Drums), Sergio Osés (second guitar), all three coming from the band Kafarnaún, and Javier Hernandez “Boni” (guitarist and vocalist).

They gave their first concert in April 1982 in the Txantrea square, an even that’s remembered because they played without any scenery and directly surrounded by people. (Barricada would play exactly 25 years later in the same conditions, in the same exact place reuniting numerous fans despite it was almost not advertised).

Mikel Astrain substituted José at the drums to record their first album “Noche de Rock&Roll” (1983), produced by Rosendo

Just after releasing their first album Sergio had to leave the band because of the obligatory military service and Alfredo Piedrafita became the new guitarist. In 1984 Mikel died because of a stroke and Fernando Coronado became the drumer.

This formation that would stay stable until 2002 recorded the second album “Barrio Conflictivo” (1985). In this year they were chosen as “Best group from Navarra”.

For their third album “No hay tregua” (1986) they joined the multinational RCA that tried to censor 8 of the tracks, but thanks to the strong pressure by Rosendo the album was released without changes. The band left RCA anyway.

They recorded “No se que hacer contigo” (1987) with the label Polygram Iberica, despite all efforts by the band the label censored the song “Bahia de Pasaia” that reminds the controversial murder of four members of CAA, one of them a personal friend of “El Drogas”.
