MECANO

Mecano was formed in Madrid in 1981. The original members were Ana Torroja (vocals), Nacho Cano (guitarist) and José María Cano (pianist). Nacho Cano and José María Cano wrote songs, but most of the lyrics were written by José María Cano.


Mecano's first album was released by the Mecano discography in 1982. Their sixth album, Greenpace, Let's Save the Mediterranean Sea, became their first bestseller in 1986. It has sold more than twenty million copies. Since then, their albums have all been hits.


Mecano played both pop and rock music. Some of their best-known songs are "Hijo de la Luna", "El 7 de Septiembre" and "Una Rosa es una Rosa". The band won a lot of prizes for their music and videos. In 1989 they were awarded in the World Music Award of Montecarlo as the most sold group in Spain. The video of "Me Colé en una Fiesta" was voted number one at the ten most legendary videos of the eighties by readers of ABC.
