Facto delafé y las flores azules (Spanish for "Facto delafé and the Blue Flowers") is an Spanish indie pop band based in Barcelona (Spain).
The band is formed in November 2002 by Marc Barrachina "Facto" (former member of band Songstore) and Oscar Daniello "delafé" (also a member of Mishima). In June 2003 they start recording in a studio and in September that year they win the Joven Promesa (young promise) contest organized by El Masnou. In May 2004 their song Mar el poder del Mar is chosen song of the month by RNE Radio 3 program Disco Grande. Helena Miquel "las flores azules", who made the chorus for the song, joined the band definitely. In January 2005 their demo El Monstruo de las Ramblas is chosen Best 2004 Demo by the listeners of Disco Grande. In November 2005 they publish their first album, vs. El Monstruo de las Ramblas in label Music Bus. By the end of 2006 they record several songs for Bigas Luna's Yo soy la Juani soundtrack. In October 2007 they publish their second album, La Luz de la Mañana.
The music by Facto delafé y las flores azules is halfway between indie pop and hip hop, with melodies and structures more characteristic of rock, soul or electronic music. Although the lyrics contain a certain level of criticism, they are more poetic than aggressive.
