Glutamato Ye-Yé is a Spanish pop rock band formed in Madrid in 1979 and initially active until 1986. The group, along with Derribos Arias, Pelvis Turmix, and Sindicato Malone, was part of the so-called "hornadas irritantes" ("irritating waves"), opposing mainstream pop trends within the Movida Madrileña movement. They gained moderate commercial success in the mid-1980s with songs like "Todos los negritos tienen hambre (y frío)".

The band's flamboyant frontman, Iñaki Fernández, became an iconic figure of early 1980s Spanish pop culture, partly due to his provocative image, which included a fringe and a mustache reminiscent of Adolf Hitler and Charles Chaplin.
