A Puerta Cerrada (album)

The band's lead singer, Fito Cabrales, was the lead singer of another Spanish rock band: Platero y Tú. The album was recorded in December 1997 but its release was delayed so as not to interfere with the tour he was doing with Platero y Tú.^[2] The album is mainly acoustic, while mixing rock & roll, swing, and blues, but with a very simple and intimate sound. The recording featured Miguel Colino (bassist for Extremoduro), Txus Alday on guitars, and Polako and Arturo on drums and percussion, respectively. José Alberto Bátiz and Javier Alzola collaborated on specific tracks, and from the second album onwards they would be the guitarist and saxophonist respectively in the Fitipaldis line-up. Robe from Extremoduro and Uoho from Platero y Tú also collaborated on specific tracks.^[3]

The first track, "Rojitas las orejas", was later recorded by another musical project in which Fito participated, Extrechinato y Tú, although this time with a more rock sound, combining poet Manolo Chinato's verses with Fito's lyrics on a more powerful musical base.
