Gomaespuma was a Spanish radio show, hosted for 15 years by Juan Luis Cano and Guillermo Fesser. The program was cast through the years in several nationwide networks of Spain. It began in Antena 3 Radio in May 1992. It became one of the most popular morning shows in the 90's on M-80 Radio and it saw the last days in Onda Cero Radio in July 2007, when the last program was broadcast.[1]

Gomaespuma organises the "Flamenco pa tos" festival, the most important Flamenco festival in Spain and also directs a foundation of the same name. The festival's proceeds help children in need in Managua.
