The Spanish pop/rock band La Unión formed in 1982 in Madrid with lead singer Rafa Sánchez, bassist Luis BolÃn, and guitar player Mario MartÃnez. Keyboardist Ãñigo Zabala came aboard shortly thereafter, and the band rode the then current new wave trend serving up the smash single âLobo Hombre en ParÃsâ in 1984. Their debut album, Mil silhouettes, followed later that year. Zabala decamped after 1988âs Vivir Al Este. They began changing up their recording process by booking studio time in different countries. British sessions produced 1990âs Tentación, and a trip to America resulted in 1993âs Psycofunkster Au Lait. They remained one of the biggest selling acts in Spain well into the next decade with albums such as 2000âs Grandes éxitos and 2010âs Big Bang. During the 2010âs, they were awarded a double diamond album for their entire discography, but 2017âs We Are Not Alone would prove to be their final album. Sánchez announced the end of the group, implying that the COVID-19 pandemicâs impact on the music industry was a major factor in the decision.
