La Oreja de Van Gogh

La Oreja de Van Gogh (Spanish: Van Gogh's Ear) is a Latin Grammy winner Spanish pop band from Donostia-San Sebastian. The name of the band references the famous impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh who cut off the lobe of his own ear. Their characteristically poetic songs (both lyrics and music) are written mainly by Amaia Montero in collaboration with Pablo Benegas and Xabi San Martín. The themes of the songs usually include love, friendship, and whatever can occur in relationships. Since they published their first album, they have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide of their four albums. ^[1]
