The Blues Intruders was the second great band of Mingo Balaguer. Created in 2002 together with his inseparable friend Quique Bonal, The Blues Intruders represented a step forward in the harmonica player's career, opening up to styles of blues that he had not frequented before, from the Californian jump-blues inspired by the West Coast sound to approaches to Texan blues. Although the most important thing was that he made his debut as a singer in a band for the first time. Since then, Balaguer has combined the harmonica with singing on all his albums and live performances. The Blues Intruders recorded three albums and it was on their second attempt "Fun To Visit" in 2010 that he first made contact with the legendary Mike Vernon, who produced the album, a relationship that turned into friendship and would lead to more joint blues sessions in the future.
