History

Manuel Hidalgo Sierra, El Indio, and Luis Abril Martín, El Nitro, meet during childhood when they were in the same class as three year olds. They became closer friends at 13 but it would be at 16 when they began to create covers of artists they admired, like Manzanita, Los Chichos, or Pata Negra.[3] [4] [5]

La Plauzela arose when a group of friends, including El Indio and El Nitro, met up to play music together for fun. The group met in a spare room of El Nitro's apartment building to play music, and that space would become an improvised studio and a hang-out spot. The name of the group comes from this place, as El Indio referred to it once as La Plazuela Techá, meaning in English, the small roofed plaza. Later and with the release of their first EP, the duo decided to shorten the name to La Plazuela.[6] [7]
