Fito & Fitipaldis, also known in Spanish as Fito y Fitipaldis (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfitoj fitiˈpaldis]), is a Spanish rock band, formed in 1997 by vocalist and guitarist Fito Cabrales. Initially emerging as a side project that Cabrales decided to continue after the breakup of his previous band, Platero y Tú, the band was created with the intention of publishing songs which were not in the style of Platero y Tú. The band's musical style is a mix of many genres, such as rock, soul, and swing. The band's sales led to the group receiving a Diamond Disc for selling over a million albums in October 2007. By October 2014, the band's sales had surpassed 1,600,000 discs.
