I honestly know this band more by reputation than by any personal experience? In my experience, it's been pretty tricky to get their music in the USA, so I've basically just got a Youtube upload of one album and a CD I managed to get of another. From these, I can confirm that La Buena Vida are a very pretty chamber pop type of group in the same type of vein as Le Mans, which makes sense seeing as these two are considered the greats of Sonido Donosti. Based on what I've heard, I think La Buena Vida might be the better band of the two? Certainly worth checking out any time you get an opportunity!
