Coming back to the work. There's still a lot of music to show. Considering all the genres, we only have seen the "tip of the iceberg".

* Mecano (Spain, 1981-1992). One of the most influential 80's pop bands in the Spanish-language music, with a huge success in many Latin American countries, and also in France and Italy. Hoy no me puedo levantar ("I Can't Get Up Today", 1981) is about a hangover after one of those early-80's lively weekends in Madrid. Aire ("Air", 1984) is metaphorical and subjective, but it probably describes some kind of ecstasy experience.

Some other of their hits are (click): Maquillaje ("Make-up", 1982), Hijo de la Luna ("Son of the Moon", 1986), Cruz de navajas ("Cross of Knives", 1986) and La fuerza del destino ("The Force of Destiny", 1988). Mujer contra mujer ("Woman Against Woman", 1988) talks about a lesbian love, Naturaleza muerta ("Still Life", 1991) is translated below and Una rosa es una rosa ("A Rose is a Rose", 1991) is a love song sounding like a rumba.

* Now, two songs from Amaral's last album (Gato negro, Dragón rojo, 2008):

And here, playing Escapar (the Spanish version of Slipping Away) together with Moby. Live (2006):
