Camela is a Spanish musical group credited with being the pioneers of the style baptised as tecno-rumba in the 90s. Its members are Dionisio Martin Lobato (singer-composer), María de los Ángeles Muñoz Dueñas (singer-songwriter), and until February 2013, Miguel Angel Jimenez Cabrera (keyboards), all of them from the Madrid neighbourhood of San Cristóbal de los Ángeles. The group is a landmark in the Spanish popular music scene, without critics' acceptance, and hardly any support from the media, they became a massive selling success, having a great musical and sociological impact on Spanish society. Camela is the second best selling band in Spain in the past 20 years, only surpassed by La Oreja de Van Gogh.

In 2024, the group was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts.[4]
