AMURA

The band Amura was born at sea, during the days when five musician friends from different bands (L.A., Izal, Rels B) took breaks from their tours to sail in a “llaut” (traditional Mallorcan boat) around the coves of Mallorca. That’s when the idea of “what if we started a band” came up, turning from a wild proposal into reality. They naturally had to choose a nautical name. And thus Amura was born, referring to the bow sides of the vessel that take on the waves—not to fight them, but to ride them in a way that minimizes damage to the boat. Just like life itself.

These five friends are all highly experienced musicians with extensive careers: Alejandro Jordá with Izal, one of the bands that defined national indie for many years; Pep Mulet, Ángel Cubero, and Dimas Frías with L.A., a Balearic band with a tremendous international trajectory, touring in over 20 countries; and Toni Morales, who, in addition to his personal projects, accompanied Rels B on guitar during his massive 2021 world tour. Amura is making its festival debut with their first songs—timeless pop-rock tracks in Spanish—recorded at Mono Boost, the studio of Toni Morales and Jaime García (Sexy Sadie).
