Jarabe de Palo is a rock group from Spain led by Pau Donés (1966-2020), singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Pau Donés, born in Aragon and raised in Barcelona, worked for various groups before being able to take on his current project, Jarabe de Palo. He began at age 15 with his brother Marc, with whom he formed a group known as J.& Co.Band and later another one named Dentaduras Postizas. During this period he completed his musical tracks in Barcelona with a job at an advertising firm. His greatest success came to him after a trip to Cuba, where he was inspired to write La Flaca which became the title of his first album in 1996.
