Herba d’Hameli, Spain ***Inactive***

News: In April 2019, the band stated they have gone to an instrumental format. But nothing since. Last check: February 15, 2020.


Location: Barcelona

Overview: Herba d'Hameli are one of my favorite current bands who play in a style rarely heard anymore - that of the late 70s French and Spanish progressive movements.
