Mocedades is a Spanish singing group from the Basque Country formed in 1969. Their name translates to "youths" and have enjoyed success in their homeland for over four decades.
Since 2014, the group has split into two groups: Formation A (led by Javier Garay) and Formation B (led by original member Izaskun Uranga). A third group called El Consorcio is made up of former members who continued careers outside the group.
They represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 in Luxembourg with the song Eres tú, finishing in second place. The song remains a Eurovision classic and was Spain's highest-scoring song until 2022. It was named one of the 15 greatest songs of Eurovision's first 50 years at the Congratulations gala in 2005, and in 2015 was also included in a medley of Spanish songs performed by 2002 Spanish representative Rosa López at the Eurovision's Greatest Hits concert.
