On the road to the second record
Following a busy touring summer, The Buyakers put an end to their tour in September with a concert supporting Mojinos Eskozíos, after which they decided to take a rest and concentrate on songwriting for the new album. This will be recorded and produced by Miguel Ángel Hernando “Lichis”, and it is expected to be released in the spring of 2017. The album’s name will be “El bar de los muertos”, and the homonymous promo single has been recorded recently at La Cochera Studio. This song is intended to help the band promote their crowdfunding campaign, which is being launched in December 2016.

About us
The Buyakers was originally born as a duo in Boston in 2003, after Víctor Mohedano and Sergio González met during the very flight. All they had by then was a guitar and a dream to bring the greatest hits of Spanish Rock & Roll to the international public. This idea eventually developed into a series of concerts in the following years, performing both in the USA (Boston, New York) and in Europe (England, the Netherlands) for a wide array of people and literally anywhere (a house, a pub, a camping site or even in the foyer of a hostel). It was all about having fun and enjoying music. After this tour, in 2007 they decided to move their project to Spain to show their newly acquired skills, combining good vibes on stage with music from different decades. Encouraged by the good reviews and strong support, The Buyakers decided to welcome a new member, the extraordinary musician and trumpeter Jonathan Blanco. At that point in time they began to write their own songs as well.
But it was not until 2010 that The Buyakers established as a regular band, joined by drummer Raúl Giménez and bass player Fernando Ortega. This led to a large number of concerts all around Spain, as well as a couple of shows in France. In 2013 Raúl Giménez left the band due to professional reasons, and The Buyakers decided to take a rest. After this period of reflection, The Buyakers resumed their activity with renewed energy, joined by drummer Gregorio Merchante, lute player Carlos Mazoteras and trombonist Fernando Fernández. With this new line-up and a more mature musical project, they went into the studio to record their first single, **‘No somos Tarantino’, and in August 2014, barely one month after getting their project back in motion, the band managed to return to the stage on a large scale — The Buyakers supported the well-known Spanish singer and songwriter Loquillo in Ciudad Real in front of 4,000 people. They also revamped their songs and the entire show concept. This renewed enthusiasm, along with the unexpected success achieved during the first months, translated into numerous concerts, which led them to finally record their first album between November 2014 and February 2015 at VillarMusik Studios in Jaén. During the recording, mixing and post-production, the band also offered several concerts. And before the official release of the album, they were joined by keyboardist **Pablo Cobos, which completed the current line-up of the band. The album ‘Empieza la función’ was presented on June 27, 2015 in Puertollano in front of a large audience. It was also greeted with enthusiastic reviews by the music press, such as MariskalRock, HeavyRock or Rock Estatal. This was the starting point of the band’s new tour in support of their latest album, which saw them touring all around Spain, both at music clubs and festivals, including ChooRock and ManzanaFest. The Buyakers also won other acclaimed festivals, which allowed them to play at “The Juerga’s Fest 2016”, “QuixoteFest 2016” and “Viña Rock 2016” together with local and international bands, where the band showed its talent and attitude towards music in front of a large crowd of music fans.
