La Ley

The Law is a group that, throughout its career, explored a sound that evolved from New Wave influences to more accessible pop rock. Its beginnings, back in 1987 in Santiago, Chile, were marked by the idea of creating electronic music, with echoes of bands like Depeche Mode. However, changes in the initial lineup, such as the departure of vocalist Shia Arbulu, led to a reconfiguration. It was at that moment that Andrés Bobe and Rodrigo Aboitiz called Mauricio Claveria on drums, Luciano Rojas on bass, and, after a vocal search, incorporated Beto Cuevas. This lineup laid the groundwork for what would be their path.

The first record release, Desiertos, released independently in 1989, had limited distribution to about 500 copies, becoming a collector's item. A turning point came in 1991 with Doble Opuesto, considered their first official album. Singles like Desiertos, Tejedores de Ilusión, and Prisioneros de la Piel began to resonate in Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. Success was consolidated with their next work, the self-titled album La Ley in 1992, recorded between Argentina and Chile. This album, which included tracks like Autoruta and Tejedores de Ilusión, had a very positive reception, especially in Mexico, and marked their first contact with that market.
