La Ley

La Ley, formed in 1987 in Santiago, Chile, began as a collaboration between keyboardist Andrés Bobe and Rodrigo Aboitiz, later joined by vocalist Beto Cuevas, bassist Luciano Rojas, and drummer Mauricio Clavería. Their early work culminated in the independent album Desiertos (1990) and the debut album Doble Opuesto (1991) under EMI, which sold 15 000 copies in its first week. In 1993, La Ley was released, earning a gold record for the single "Tejedores de Ilusión" and establishing the group in Latin America. The breakthrough came with Invisible (1995), selling over a million copies and producing hits such as "El Duelo" and "Día Cero"; the album topped charts in Chile, Mexico, and the United States. Subsequent releases-Vértigo (1998), Uno (2000), and Libertad (2003)-earned multiple Latin Grammy nominations and a Grammy win for Uno in 2001. The band toured extensively, including the MTV Unplugged performance (2002) and the Adaptación world tour (2016). After a final single, "Ya no estás" (2016), the group announced its dissolution on 29 July 2016, concluding a career that spanned nearly three decades and left a legacy of chart‑winning records and award recognition in Chilean pop‑rock history.
