Pepe Gros was born in Zaragoza in 1948, he was passionate about jazz, a great poker player, whom his bandmates called the

After nine years of silence, in 2007,
Pepe Gros and Curro Fatas returned, along with Leo Susana,
a Dominican raised in New York and settled in Zaragoza, who replaced Labordeta who did not want to return.

returned as "
super antiheroes
".
They went out in disguise at concerts, although less than in the previous stage, when they
got to change their clothes up to eleven times in a performance.
Then Gros declared that they returned to the stage because it seemed like "a good idea, since we have realized that 90 percent of our repertoire is still current and current. Many young people surprise him, so it is as if we were a new group for them. "
