From El momento (1987). Bright, melodic Spanish new-wave pop-rock with chiming clean-to-crunchy guitars. Nothing published ties a rig to this song, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster into a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the middle and bridge pickups together and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.
