biography

Techno-pop band from Spain Mecano was formed in the early '80s by brothers Nacho and JosT Marfa Cano, who were joined by singer Ana Torroja. While Spanish New Wave, known as Movida Madrile±a, was at its highest level of popularity, Mecano burst into the local scene with "Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar," a single released by CBS in 1981. They issued "Perdido En Mi Habitaci=n" that same year. Mecano's debut album was presented live at Madrid's Palace Hotel in March of 1982. Soon after, the band started touring the country, having Javier de Juan playing drums and Manolo Aguilar on bass. In 1983, Nacho Cano began composing for other acts, starting with Rubin's "Me He Enamorado De Un Fan," also producing a band called Betty Troupe and working along with La Uni=n. Later, JosT Marfa Cano started songwriting for local stars such as Ana BelTn and Massiel. In 1986, a touching ballad called "Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte" hit the charts all over Latin America. The following year, Mecano's "Cruz de Navajas" was voted Best Song of the Year in Spain. In addition, the French version of the group's "Mujer Contra Mujer" (Une Femme Avec Une Femme) remained on the top of the most important music charts in France for seven weeks. After Mecano's exhaustive 1991 worldwide tour, the band's members finally decided to go on their own. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
