The story behind
Lobo‐hombre en París, according to DoReSol
The story behind Lobo‐hombre en París, one of La Unión's most recognized songs, takes us to a key moment in their career. Released in 1984, this song quickly became a resounding success, reaching number one on the charts and staying there for three months. The production of this track, like their first album Mil siluetas, was handled by Nacho Cano and Rafael Abitbol, who played an important role in consolidating the band's sound from their beginnings in Madrid.
The group, formed by Rafa Sánchez on vocals, Luis Bolín on bass, Mario Martínez on guitar, and Iñigo Zabala on keyboards, became known in the early eighties. After the success of Lobo‐hombre en París and Mil siluetas in 1984, they continued releasing material, such as El maldito viento a year later and the compilation album 4x4 in 1986. By 1988, with the departure of Iñigo Zabala, the band took over the production of their own records, releasing Vivir al este del edén and embarking on a tour of South America. In the early nineties, they explored new directions with the album Tentación, which included songs like Berlín and Ella es un volcán. In 1992, they released an extensive compilation called Tren de largo recorrido, which combined music and a concert recorded in La Coruña, where audience interaction was notable. A year later, in 1993, they took a stylistic turn with Psychofunkster Au Lait, experimenting with psychedelic sounds in songs like Africa.
