Alaska Y Dinarama

Alaska y Dinarama, formed in Madrid in 1982, emerged as one of Spain's most iconic pop and new wave bands of the 1980s, blending glam rock, synth-pop, disco, and acid house into their distinctive sound. Created by Carlos Berlanga and Nacho Canut following the dissolution of Alaska y los Pegamoides, the group welcomed Alaska as lead vocalist, solidifying their lineup. Their debut album, Canciones Profanas (1983), featured hits like "Perlas Ensangrentadas" and "Rey del Glam." They achieved massive success with Deseo Carnal (1984), which included timeless classics like "Cómo Pudiste Hacerme Esto a Mí" and "Ni Tú Ni Nadie," propelling them to stardom in Spain and Latin America. Subsequent releases like No es Pecado (1986), featuring the anthem "A Quién le Importa," and Fan Fatal (1989) showcased their evolution toward more electronic and acid house sounds. Despite internal tensions leading to their disbandment in 1989, Alaska y Dinarama left an enduring legacy, influencing generations of artists and cementing their place in Spanish pop history.
