Medina Azahara (band)


Medina Azahara is a hard rock band formed in Córdoba, Spain in 1979.

History

The group was founded by Manuel Martínez, Miguel Galán, José Antonio Molina, Manuel Molina, and Pablo Rabadán.
In their early years they were part of the Andalusian rock scene from the 80s, influenced by acts like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Triana, and Uriah Heep, among others.
Later on their style shifted toward a melodic heavy metal sound with neoclassical undertones.
The line-up has changed several times through the years, though the band is still recording and touring through Spain, with frontman Manuel Martínez standing as the only original member.
In 2018, three former members, Miguel Galán, José Antonio Molina, and Randy López, formed a tribute group called ExMedinas with other musicians, performing songs from the early period of the band.
