El Sueno De Morfeo is a Spanish band from Asturias. Their musical style is pop-rock fused with Celtic, folk rock and indie pop elements. After Juan Luis Suarez joined David and Raquel in 2003, they decided to find a new name for the band. They considered names like "Pupitre Azul" (Blue Desk) or "La Hija del Caos" (The Daughter of Chaos), and eventually chose El Sueno de Morfeo.
In 2004, Raquel auditioned for the Spanish series Los Serrano and gave a demo of their songs. The production company Globomedia asked them to cover the title song of the series, "1+1 son 7", together with Fran Perea in an episode that would air on 30 July 2004. The group received a significant push in their career from this appearance. They receiced a recording deal from the music branch of the production company, Globomedia Música. Their first album as El Sueno de Morfeo, an eponymous album, came out in March 2005, produced by Manel Santisteban. Their first single "Nunca volvera" had been released in January 2005, becoming an instant sales hit in Spain. It ranked third on the year-end singles chart. Their following singles, "Ojos de cielo," "Okupa de tu corazon" and "Esta soy yo" cemented their place in the charts. They toured Spain with more than 100 concerts and they did a promo tour through Latin America.
That same year they took part in a tribute album to Duncan Dhu, where they covered "Una calle de Paris". Two years later, in early 2009, they recorded a new album in Los Angeles. Its first single, "Si no estas" was released in April 2009 and the album, Cosas que nos hacen sentir bien, in May 2009. The first single was followed by "No se donde voy" and "Gente". The band toured Spain in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, they collaborated with Complices, recording one of their most popular songs, "Es por ti", for their 20th anniversary album. In early 2011, they collaborated with La Musicalite in a new song, "Cuatro elementos", which was number 9 on the Spanish Singles Chart. In February 2011, Raquel competed together with Luca Barbarossa in the 2011 Sanremo Music Festival, where they finished in 5th place with his song "Fino in fondo".
Their 4th album as El Sueno de Morfeo, titled Buscamos sonrisas was recorded in Los Angeles, produced by Thom Russo. It was released in February 2012, with the first single "Depende de ti" released in advance in mid-November 2011. After releasing the album, the band began a tour of acoustic concerts through Spain in theatres and auditoriums.
