mecano

(For the toy construction material, see Meccano) Mecano was a synth-pop (in Spanish, tecno) band from Madrid, Spain. Brothers Nacho and Jos Mara Cano along with singer Ana Torroja formed the band in 1981 (1981 in music). Soon after forming, they achieved wide-spread popularity with their debut single, "Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar". Nacho Cano soon branched out into producing other bands, and both he and his brother wrote songs for other pop up-starts. Mecano coincided with the Madrilenian Movida, but they were seen as a "posher" group. Mecano had another hit in 1986 (1986 in music) with "Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte". In 1991 (1991 in music), the band members decided to set out on solo careers. Prior to their international success in 1986, Mecano had three successful albums in Spain and Europe. However, it wasn't until the release of their 1986 album, "Entre el Cielo y el Suelo" that they achieved international success beyond the Spanish-speaking world. One of their most important songs, "Hijo de la Luna", was covered as an aria by one of Opera's greatest contemporary singers: Montserrat Caball. Their follow-up album, Descanso Dominical, produced their biggest single ever "Mujer Contra Mujer", which touched on the theme of a same sex relationship between two women, seen through the eyes of a male friend who only later realized what was going on. The song was recorded in French, English and Italian giving Mecano their first truly global hit. The majority of the lyrics were written by one of the Cano brothers from a male perspective, and sung by Ana Torroja. The actress Penlope Cruz debuted before the Spanish public in a Mecano video clip, La fuerza del destino. She later held a relationship with Nacho Cano for years. In early 2005 a musical written by Nacho Cano, entitled "Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar" is due to open in Madrid. Also in 2005, the members of Mecano are scheduled to release a double-CD/DVD package commemorating the 25th anniversary since the creation of the pop-group. The new CD/DVD by the name of "Mecanografia" will include a compilation of all their singles, never-before released songs, and a DVD with videos and early concert appearances.
