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 The Invisible Band in 1995 and Vertigo three years later. The Grammy-winning MTV Unplugged In New York, the follow-up to the alternative pop rock Unomia, 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, Rovi
