Barón Rojo (literally RedBaron) is a Spanish HeavyMetal band born in TheEighties that was the TropeMaker and TropeCodifier for Heavy Metal in Spain as well one of the precursors of the Spanish Rock scene in general that continues until today.
today. The group was formed with the brothers Armando and Carlos del Castro in voice and guitars, José Luis Campuzano "Sherpa" in bass guitar and Hermes Calabria in drums.

Born in 1980, Barón Rojo became a major sensation in this decade, appearing in TV shows and getting tours for all over Europe, but starting TheNineties the band got their first breakup when "Sherpa" and Calabria left the band for differences with the brothers and the fatigue for the concerts. Since then, the band has a big rechange of members during the years, always with de Castro brothers at the front. They had a reunion in 2010, but it lasted a couple of years until "Sherpa" and Calabria left the band again, and this time for real. In 2019, Barón Rojo announced their end in 2020 during the 40th Anniversary with a WorldTour and a [[GrandFinale final big concert]] in Madrid in December.
