Granada is an Austrian dialect band from Graz, which formed around the musician Thomas Petritsch (Effi). After Thomas Petritsch received his first commission to produce the German-language title music for the film Planet Ottakring in dialect, he created several song ideas that he did not want to reject. The musician, who until then had written only English-language texts, put the band Granada together, initially as a fixed project. The debut album Granada was released in September 2016 and immediately entered the Austrian album charts.
