La Guardia is a Spanish pop-rock band. They were most famous in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the Movida Madrileña, though they are still active today following a hiatus.

They moved to Madrid, where the Movida was still ebullient, looking for broader success, and in 1985, they recorded an EP, now as La Guardia, afte ...
