The legendary rock band Extremoduro has announced by surprise on Tuesday night its "definitive separation", as indicated by the group itself on its official website.

Led by Robe Iniesta since its founding in 1987, and after 11 albums on the market, the band has explained that "to work the way we have worked so long, it is essential to have a very special rapport. Now, that rapport so difficult to obtain and maintain, although it exists, it is not the same, "he clarifies.

In this sense, he explained: "We have preferred to leave it here: to always remain with the memory of so many happy years, and because it seems to us the most honest. We continue and will continue to be travel companions, although otherwise, but always companions", the group has specified, which in addition to Iniesta also composed until now Iñaki Antón, Miguel Colino and José Ignacio Cantera.

The separation of the placentino group comes after the last day 12 of this month transcended the possibility of a return to the stages, specifically in the city of Cáceres. In fact, its producer had requested for the weekend of June 19-20, 2020 the authorization for a concert in the Equestrian Venue of the capital of Caceres.

In fact, the mayor of Cáceres, Luis Salaya, said that "there is still nothing definitive", but confirmed that the producer Planet SA had requested this space and was working on the organization of a concert "of great affluence."

"The will of the government team and the work of the Councilor for Culture is being of total predisposition and collaboration and we hope that this concert of Extremoduro can move forward," said Salaya.

Extremoduro rose to fame especially in the 90s thanks to its urban rock show and its charismatic lyrics, in songs such as So clown and albums like We are some animals (1991) and Agíla (1996).

In total there were 11 studio albums published until For all audiences (2013), title that was also the name of the last tour of Robe Iniesta and the rest of the mythical formation, a long tour with 39 dates that, with its 306,800 spectators , it became the second most successful of all 2014 among national artists, according to Efe.
