Biography

Spanish pop/rock foursome Christiania based its name on the Danish city also called Freetown. Formed in the early '90s, led by singer Fernando Díaz de la Guardia, the band started playing songs in English, recording Rick's Cafe in 1994. Later, Christiania turned into Spanish, getting involved in the rock en español scene, making En El Circo Del Aire, produced by Ricardo Texidó in 1998. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
