Souvenir

Souvenir is a Spanish indie pop group from Pamplona, Spain, active since 1999. The band is a trio made up of Patricia de la Fuente on vocals, J'aime Cristobal on guitar, keyboards and programming, and Pablo Errea on bass.

The group describes its music as drawing on the spirit of 1960s French pop while adapting that influence to contemporary styles. Its sound combines ye-ye pop, horns, eccentric samples, surf guitar and bossa nova, with Patricia de la Fuente’s voice at the centre.

Souvenir’s debut EP is released by Jabalina Musica in Spain and by Shelflife Records internationally. The six-track record is sung in French and includes a French version of Brian Wilson’s “Girl Don’t Tell Me” as well as a tribute to Dusty Springfield. It receives attention in the Spanish music press, and the band also performs on Spanish national television.
