La Unión Essentials
Apple Music
No rock en español compilation would be complete without a track from La Unión, and usually it's the 1984 howl-along wolfman tribute, “Lobo Hombre en Paris”, whose lilting melodies and loping bass never lose their luster or groove. That song is emblematic of what the band do best: cook up a bewitching stew of seductive darkness and New Wave romance. Their masterful mix of pop vocals, luminous keys, upbeat rhythms and flanged fretwork ensured excellence into the '00s, when their synth-powered work picks up a more sprightly vibe.
