Forming the noteworthy band
Heroes del Silencio in 1987 (which subsequently broke up in 1996), singer/songwriter
Enrique Bunbury (born Enrique Ortiz) has moved around on the Spanish music scene in various incarnations for multiple decades, covering ground from traditional singer/songwriter ballads to techno and all points in between. After a successful run with the
Heroes,
Bunbury went on to a solo career, starting with the successful techno attempt
Radical Sonora and moving on to the darker, slower
Pequeño. A few more albums with a newer backing band, and
Bunbury moved on to a double album (
El Tiempo de las Cerezas) with indie rocker
Nacho Vegas. 2008 saw the release of a more straightforward singer/songwriter affair,
Hellville De Luxe, which peaked at number one on the Spanish charts. ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide
