In 1987, ex-Aparato Raro member Rodrigo Aboitiz, ex-Paraiso Perdido member
Andrés Bobe, and ex-Nadie member Shia Arbulu formed a techno-pop ensemble called
la Ley. After issuing an EP, Aboitiz and Arbulu left the band to get involved in
different projects. On the other side, Bobe teamed up with ex-Pancho Puelma
drummer Mauricio Clavería, ex-Paraíso Perdido member Luciano Rojas, and newcomer
Beto Cuevas (born Luis Alberto Cuevas Olmedo). After releasing the hit single "Desiertos,"
the Chilean pop/rock ensemble emerged with their first full-length record, Doble
Opuesto, featuring a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Angie." La Ley soon achieved
a local rock sensation status. Unfortunately, founder Andrés Bobe passed away
after a car accident in April 1994. Nevertheless, the group pressed on with ex-Anachena
guitarist Pedro Frugone, releasing Invisible in 1995 and Vértigo three years
later. The Grammy-winning MTV Unplugged, the follow-up to the Latin alternative
pop/rock Uno, became their first top-selling album throughout Latin America.
Based on this success, both WEA and Universal released compilations in 2002,
followed by a new studio album, Libertad in 2003. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music
