History

Speak Low was formed in late 2002 by Julián Maeso (of The Sunday Drivers), Antonio Pax (of La Vacazul) and Jose Funko (of Mamafunko) to play covers of classic jazz-funk, soul and boogaloo in local clubs. Later, Martín and David García would join and original compositions started to emerge. In 2003, they recorded a demo of three songs. Later, during the summer of 2004 the band recorded ten original songs, published in the spring of 2006 under the title I'm Gonna Groove Ya.
