La Oreja de Van Gogh (Spanish: Van Gogh's Ear) was a Latin Grammy winner Spanish pop band from Donostia-San Sebastian. The name of the band references the famous impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh who cut off the lobe of his own ear. Their characteristically poetic songs (both lyrics and music) are written mainly by Amaia Montero in collaboration with Pablo Benegas and Xabi San Martín. The themes of their songs usually include love, friendship, and whatever can occur in relationships. Since their debut, they have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide of their four albums until Nov 2007, when Amaia Montero (The singer) leaves the group. ^[1] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...
