The book that celebrates the 20th anniversary of a band that revolutionized Spanish indie music.
All bands tell stories through their songs, but not all have a story worth telling. "A cualquier otra parte" is much more than the chronicle of a band: it is a generational portrait of a time and a way of understanding music. From the vibrant Barcelona of the 2000s to their conquest of Latin America, this book covers two decades of the career of a group that uniquely combined pop melodies and electronic pulse, turning their songs into true anthems.
In these pages, journalist Álex Serrano traces the journey of Marc, Belly, Bart, and Lisandro without avoiding the lights or shadows: success, independence, personal crises, and emotional storms that shaped some of the most important compositions in recent Spanish pop.
To achieve this multifaceted view of the Dorian phenomenon, the narrative becomes collective and incorporates key voices from the scene: from musicians like Nacho Canut (Fangoria), Marc Ros (Sidonie), Florent (Los Planetas), or Jorge Martí (La Habitación Roja); to promoters like Javier Ajenjo (Sonorama Ribera) or Jose Moran (FIB); and leading journalists like Joan Luna (Mondo Sonoro) or Santi Carrillo (Rockdelux).
With a foreword by Fernando Navarro, who highlights that «Dorian opened a gap with their uniqueness, constant search, and enthusiastic attitude», the book captures the spirit of an era that learned to survive by dancing.
