El Sueño de Morfeo

Formation

El Sueño de Morfeo originated in 2002 under the name Xemá, with a strong influence from Asturian folk music. The initial lineup included David Feito and Raquel del Rosario, who were joined by teachers Andrés Alonso and Antón Fernández. Their debut album, "Del interior," was released that same year but did not achieve commercial success. After deliberation, the band decided to rebrand and create a new project.

Transition to El Sueño de Morfeo

In 2003, the group welcomed Juan Luis Suárez, which prompted a name change to El Sueño de Morfeo. They gained significant exposure in 2004 when Raquel auditioned for the Spanish TV series "Los Serrano," leading to a collaboration on the theme song "1+1 son 7" alongside Fran Perea. This appearance helped them secure a recording deal with Globomedia Música.

Key Releases and Influence

Their self-titled debut album as El Sueño de Morfeo was released in March 2005, marking the beginning of their journey in the pop rock genre, infused with Celtic and folk elements. The band continued to release several albums, including "Nos vemos en el camino," "Cosas que nos hacen sentir bien," and "Todos tenemos un sueño." They represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Contigo hasta el final," further solidifying their presence in the music scene.

El Sueño de Morfeo's unique blend of styles and their roots in Asturian culture have left a lasting impact on the Spanish music landscape, showcasing the richness of regional influences in contemporary pop music.
