Two cousins—guitarist Antonio Vega and singer Nacho García Vega—formed the core of Nacha Pop, a four-piece whose infectious pop-rock spread from Madrid to Latin America through much of the '80s. Their songs about messy rooms, the Caribbean sun, girls from the past and the elixir of youth owed something to both the cranky late-'70s New Wave of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker and later, sad British acts like The Smiths and The Cure. But they were often given an island lilt somewhere between American yacht rock and The Police. The result? An easy-rolling sound, as jaunty as it was jittery.
