delgados

Delgados is the plural form of the Spanish and Portuguese surname Delgado, which derives from the adjective delgado meaning slender or thin. In Spanish and Portuguese tradition, Delgado describes a person of slim build or a descriptive lineage, and Delgados may appear in written text referring to multiple people with that surname.

The Delgados refers to a Scottish indie pop band formed in Glasgow in 1994. They became part of the late 1990s Scottish indie scene and released several albums on the Chemikal Underground label. The band was known for a melodic guitar-based sound augmented by orchestral textures and contributed to the period’s alternative music landscape. They remained active through the early 2000s and eventually disbanded in the mid-2000s, with members pursuing solo projects and other musical ventures. The Delgados’ work is frequently cited in discussions of Scotland’s underground and independent music during that era.
