Los Reyes del Ko are Marcos Coll and Adrian Costa, two young guys from Galicia, Spain, that with their love and respect for the blues and black music have performed from Czech Republic, Austria and many more countries in Europe, to Mexico and USA, sharing the stage with all time greats as Chuck Berry, Solomon Burke, John Mayall, Buddy Guy, The Animals, The Faboulous Thunderbirds etc etc, as well as playing in the most important blues venues as Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago or Terra Blues in New York.
After meeting in elementary school in 1993 they decided to form their first amateur "Blues Band". After many local gigs in clubs, bars, squatter houses or simply buskin in the street, Marcos decided to move to Madrid to try his luck in the city scene.
Doing all kinds of different jobs in the daytime and playing jam sessions at night, he received the call from the most popular blues band at that time, Tonky Blues band. This fact changed his live, giving him a much more professional approach.
It was two years full of concerts, and also touring with top musicians like the former Rolling Stones guitar player Mick Taylor until Adrian arrived in Madrid also joining the band, first as a drummer, then as a bass player to finally end up with the guitar, his natural instrument.
The highlight of those really intense years came when they toured and recorded with the legendary drummer and singer from the Jimmy Hendrix band of Gypsis Buddy Miles. It was a music and life lesson that changed their lives.
In 2002 they were ready to form their own band.........
They hired the best rhythm section in Madrid, Javier Vacas and Antonio Alvarez, and two months later recorded their first album Coll Vs Costa produced by Ñaco Goñi, that won the award of best blues album of the year in Spain
The following years were very busy for the band playing in many blues and jazz festivals and even crossing over to the pop-rock market with performances in events as the famous spanish tv program Musica 1, beeing the first "Blues band" to appear.
After recording the album "Homemade Blues" they were invited to play at the Schmöltz blues fest, giving them the opportunity to play in Germany for the first time.
In this country they got a great welcome, so they decided to settle down in Berlin. With the help of Michael Maas and especially Christian Rannenberg, (who two years later produced their Schallplaten Kritik nominated album "Hot Tin Roof"), they started to make a name for themselves in Germany as well as other European countries, and also meeting other musicians like Guitar Crusher, Angela Brown, Eb Davis, Tino Gonzales, Sugar Blue, Charlie Musselwhite, etc working with many of them.
In 2006 they recorded their live album "Live in Yorckschlösschen Berlin" in the well known blues and jazz club where they often play when they are in town
Their danceable music goes from the old time down-home blues to the more modern Chicago blues style, adding to it lots of funky and soul flavours as well as even hip hop or latino, making their music fit to all kinds of audiences.
"I just finished listening to Los Reyes del K.O and its SMOKING. Great tunes and great playing. I love it! good for you guys!!!!!" (CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE)
