synopsis (EN)The musical group was started as a synth-pop ensemble (música tecno in Spanish) by brothers Nacho and José María Cano, along with singer Ana Torroja, in Madrid in 1981. In a period of cultural experimentation in the newly democratic Spain, Mecano achieved its initial popularity with their debut single, Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar ("I Can't Get Up Today"), a song about youth boredom and hangovers. The initial album, named after the band, became a collection of classics that would later represent La Movida Madrileña.
At the same time, Nacho Cano branched out into producing other bands, and both brothers wrote songs for other pop up-stars. Although those secondary acts wouldn't achieve the level of success Mecano gained, they turned out to be new testing grounds for Mecano.
Having achieved another huge hit in 1986 with Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte ("It's So Hard to Forget You"), the band reformed its musical approach with the album Entre el cielo y el suelo ("Between heaven and earth"). The new style emphasized more pop over techno. It also facilitated the export of the music to Latin America. This new versatility was evidenced by the cover of Hijo de la Luna ("Son of the Moon") by Opera artist Montserrat Caballé. Their follow-up album, Descanso Dominical ("Sunday rest"), produced two of their most popular singles: La Fuerza del Destino (The force of fate) and Mujer Contra Mujer ("Woman against woman"). The latter deals with a lesbian relationship, seen through the eyes of a friend, who only later realizes what is going on. It was recorded in French ("Une Femme avec une femme"), English and Italian, giving Mecano their first truly global hit. Aidalai (nonsense word meaning, "Woe, Dalai (Lama)"), their following album, was published in 1991 and carried the same success of the previous two works. In 1993 the band announced a "temporary split".
The songs La Fuerza del Destino and El 7 de Septiembre ("September 7") were dedicated to Coloma Fernández Armero, who was Nacho Cano's girlfriend for several years. Actress Penélope Cruz debuted in the video clip for La Fuerza del Destino. She later had a relationship with Nacho Cano for several years.
In 1998 the band released the album "Ana, Jose, Nacho" that mixed new songs with greatest hits. The band separated later that year and all three members went on to have solo careers, though only Ana found success as a singer.
