The Spanish hip-hop act Facto Delafé y las Flores Azules started in 2002 when
Oscar D’Aniello (known as “delafé”) joined forces with Marc Barrachina (known as
“Facto”). They won a local talent contest in 2003, and were soon made a trio

which would appear on their 2005 debut album Facto Delafé y las Flores Azules

beats with indie pop hooks and appealing chorus...
