Bongo Botrako is a Spanish alternative rock band formed in Tarragona, Spain in 2007 by lead vocalist and songwriter Uri Giné. The band released their first studio album, Todos los días sale el sol, in 2010; it featured their most notable hit, "Todos los días sale el sol" (also known as "Chipirón"), which peaked at #12 on the Spain Songs chart. In 2012 they released their second studio album, Revoltosa, leading to extensive tours across eleven European countries. The band's first and only live album, Punk Parranda, was released in 2014. In October 2015, Bongo Botrako announced an indefinite hiatus and a six-date farewell tour, performing their last concert on December 26, 2015.

Bongo Botrako frontman Uri Giné joined punk rock band Extracto de Lúpulo as its guitarist, backing vocalist and songwriter in 2003. Some of the songs he wrote didn't fit in the genre of the band, so he kept them apart. In October 2007, Giné decided to create his own band with all those songs and named it Bongo Botrako. He recorded a ten-track demo at his small home studio, programming the drums and performing all the rest of instruments himself. After passing the demo around, Giné quickly recruited eight more musicians: Nacho Pascual on guitar, Xavi Vallverdú on keyboard, Marc Vallverdú on bass, Gorka Robert on drums, Pitus Siles on percussion, Xavi Artiol on trumpet, Àlex Huguet on trombone and Mercè Verge on backing vocals. They started rehearsing in January 2008 and they performed live for the first time on March 20, 2008 in their hometown, Tarragona.
