There are intangibles that go beyond the number of headlining shows, the amount of albums sold, or the sum of followers on social media
— objective data that, by the way, confirm the relevance of Carolina Durante as the most important band of their generation.

But we were talking about intangibles — those things that, in times of data tyranny, turn an artist or a band into a phenomenon whose importance goes beyond the sum of their numbers. We were talking about Carolina Durante.

Carolina Durante has had to swim against the current since the day, after a Los Punsetes concert, they decided to form a band. And they did it: they divided the roles of the group, and the next day they went to buy instruments — guitar, bass, drums... All of this in a context where urban and Latin music were beginning to dominate the charts and becoming a global soundtrack that cannot be escaped the moment you step outside...

Perhaps that decision to face their own destiny as a band, combined with the group’s ability to maintain the excitement of their first day, are the differentiating factors that have made Carolina Durante the most important band of their generation. They are also largely responsible for the resurgence of rock and guitar- driven pop.

Carolina Durante is a supergroup — the only one in the world not formed by illustrious members of other significant bands. The band wouldn’t be the same without the charismatic voice of Diego, without his ability to strike a chord with lyrics that hover between existential unease and humor. But, of course, the band wouldn’t exist as it does without Mario’s punk-pop spirit on guitar, Martín’s solid sobriety on bass, or Juan’s talent and eccentricity behind the drums. Each and every one of the four members is essential to shaping the sound of Carolina Durante as well as their unique personality.

With these foundations and occasional external collaborations (with Amaia, Jota Planetas, Santiago Motorizado, or Rosalía), the band has developed a career that balances between massive success and the cult following of their passionate fanbase.
These are the intangibles we were talking about at the beginning of this text, as well as the idea that the best is yet to come...
