Going back some years, the first Eldorado album, "En Busca de Eldorado", released in May 2008, was produced and recorded in August and September 2007 by Richard Chycki -Aerosmith, Mick Jagger, Rush etc- and mastered by Mika Jussila in Finvox Studios. The album's reviews were excellent.
During the following year the band presented extensively the album along Spain and started the composition of the second album. They decided to create both an English and a Spanish version out of it.
This second album that they are now presenting was also recorded with Richard Chycki producer, but this time in his studio in Toronto (Canada) in June 2009 and mastered by Andy VanDette in Masterdisk, New York. After listening the band sound in this second album, Richard coined an expression that defined it: "New Vintage Rock". It is now the sound motto of the band.
Bad Reputation, an European label known by the quality of its bands, got interested in the band and signed a deal with Eldorado for Europe at the end of November. Bad Reputation launched the English version of the album with four bonus tracks in Spanish in March 2010 in France and a couple of months later in Uk, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

The nomination to prestigious awards, where Eldorado has been finalist in different categories, together with the excellent reviews in specialized media caught the attention from the record label Spectra Records. Eldorado signed in May 2010 an agreement with Spectra Records for USA and Canada.

Under Globe Artist Management and together with Spectra Records, they will organize the album tour presentation in North America and Canada.
In Europe, the album has been launched in May by the label Bad Reputation and after an extensive tour in Spain, Eldorado is presenting it across Europe. The first stop is in Switzerland, in the 19th edition of the Rock Oz'Arčnes Festival, with bands as Status Quo, Monster Magnet, Placebo.
