No matter how new the name of the guitarist and singer Amparo Sanchez might seem at the music scene, it builds on vast music experience. Under her arts name of Amparanoia, which would eventually be the synonym of the entire band of which she was the leader, she played about a thousand concerts and released seven albums between 1996 and 2006. The sound Amparanoia played would mix – under the occasional assistance of Manu Chao – Amparo’s perhaps native Spanish mindset with dominant influence of Latin-American rhythms, Cuban music, and reggae.
