Paloma Borbone is a woman of many talents, she has played in many Trash Punk bands and nowadays is dedicated to organizing one of the craziest and best Rock'n'Roll parties on the planet, the Funtastic Dracula Carnival.
Paloma met Fela at school and they have been operating since 1985 in Oviedo, where they made their first instruments from garbage for their band, "Los Hipohuracanados". After that, already settled in Valencia, they formed "Royal Canin" together with Manolo Borbone.
Later they created "Ulan Bator trio", a group with which they released a single containing their first hit: "Caga Traga", which despite its catchy chorus and modern choreography, inexplicably did not become a summer hit. Manolo Borbone was the founding drummer, later replaced by Lourdes Borbone. After recording the first LP, Manolo got behind the drum kit once again. They released two EPs and one Lp between 1996 and 1998 all of them on Discos Alehop!.
Los Borbones were formed as the opening act of the Ulan Bator Trio, so they could get paid twice in every show. But finally, they focus all their attention only in one group: Los Borbones. These, unlike the Ulan Bator trio, use self-powered instruments running on batteries, so once free of cables, they could go out to play in the street like a trash orchestra, causing chaos everywhere.
The documentary by Pilar Velázquez and Anaiss Bartual "Los Borbones", was the winner of the fourth edition of the In-Edit Musical Documentary Film Festival in Barcelona, and can be seen on Youtube. In the video we will see them in their natural habitat explaining how they make the instruments, playing live and talking about their other projects such as the shop "Confecciones Drácula", the bar "Gabba Gabba", or the "Funtastic Dracula Carnival".
