Mägo de Oz

Mägo de Oz is a Spanish folk metal band formed in 1988 in Begoña, Madrid, by drummer Txus di Fellatio. It is one of the best-known heavy rock acts in the Spanish-speaking world.

Origins

After early releases in the 1990s, including the rock opera Jesús de Chamberí (1996), the band broke through with La Leyenda de la Mancha (1998), a retelling of Don Quixote. The double album Finisterra followed in 2000.

The sound

Their music blends heavy and power metal with Celtic folk, using violin, flutes and whistles alongside electric guitars. Many albums are conceived as concept works, such as the Gaia trilogy completed in 2010.

Legacy

Their single "Y Ahora Voy a Salir" (2007) reached No. 1 in Spain, and Alicia en el Metalverso earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. Malicia was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2026 Latin Grammys.
