Revólver

Revólver, sometimes styled RevólveЯ, is a Spanish music group founded and led by musician and composer Carlos Goñi. After leaving Comité Cisne in 1988, Goñi signed a recording contract with Warner Music under which he began releasing works with American rock as their musical basis. Despite a core line-up made up of Rafael Pico, Sergio Roger and Jorge Lario on the albums Revólver and Si no hubiera que correr, Goñi conceived Revólver from the outset as a personal project, a pseudonym under which to conceal his own name.

With the release of Básico, the first album in Spain recorded in the acoustic format popularised by MTV Unplugged, Revólver reached a wider national profile and topped the Los 40 Principales chart with the singles «Dentro de ti» and «Si es tan solo amor». The release of El Dorado (1995) and Calle Mayor (1996) consolidated the group's presence on the Spanish music scene and reinforced Goñi's focus on lyrics dealing with social issues, including racial discrimination.

Following a second album in the same basic format, Goñi resumed his activity at the head of Revólver with Sur (2000), whose single «San Pedro» reached number one on the Los 40 Principales chart. Over the following years he released 8:30 a.m. (2002), Mestizo (2004) and 21 gramos (2008), works in which he combined socially driven compositions with more introspective ones, maintaining a steady commercial trajectory. His most recent studio album, LA 03010, was released in 2026. Throughout his career he has sold more than 1.5 million records in Spain. Several of his songs, such as «El roce de tu piel», «Si es tan solo amor», «Eldorado», «Calle Mayor», «San Pedro», «Odio», «Faro de Lisboa», «Tu noche y la mía», «Sara», «El peligro» or «Mestizo», have become some of the most recognisable compositions in his repertoire.
