Macaco: Spanish Pop ‘Fusion Without Confusion’

On the inside cover of his new CD, Dani Carbonell waxes epigrammatic. He quotes the Polish poet Stanislaw Jerzy Lec: Translated, it reads, “Learn languages. Even the nonexistent ones.”

The Barcelona-based Carbonell, also known as El Mono Loco (The Crazy Monkey), is the lead singer and songwriter behind the Spanish pop outfit Macaco. And on the band’s new Ingravitto, he sings in French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.

Such easy fusion of international references and funky rhythms has propelled Macaco to the top of the European charts for years. On the eve of the band’s first U.S. tour, Carbonell discusses his genre-crossing music — in English.”*
