PLANETA LEM´S DUO MUTANTE:

It is the acoustic format of Planet Lem. Aleko Capi (voice and spanish guitar) and Bea Albert (drums / percussion) give life to this parallel band, which distributes equitably between their own songs and “classics” in Reggae (The Beatles, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bob Marley,  Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Queen, etc) not necessarily in his original language.
Between March and September 2011 they did more than 60 concerts in Barcelona, adventure named  “City Tour 2011 (BCN turns)"

Planeta Lem is music to fly and dance, and words to think and feel.
