Amor A Traición

Spanish pop-rock group from San Sebastian (1983-1997), until 1994 they didn't released their first LP. First line-up: Rafael Berrio (vocals, composer), José Manuel Puerto (guitar), Enrique “Endika” Cámara (bass) and José López (drums). Their first gig was in December 31th of 1983, becoming the opening act for Spear Of Destiny concert. They even performed on a couple of occasions at the Ekaitz Pub in Lequeitio, Vizcaya. They would record in the Tsunami studios a total of six cuts waiting to be laminated, 'November', 'Bad winks',' Betrayal love ',' Hero of the Baltic ',' Candy usually says' and 'Through the night ', but his opportunity to press his first album was, for the moment, in borage waters. Already in the second half of the eighties, the group disappeared into the shadow zone. For long years, they secluded themselves in the rehearsal rooms, acting sporadically, until, again, for Shanti Records they recorded in 1991, their first LP at the Du Manoir studios (Landes, France) but unfortunately, the album would remain unpublished because of the subsequent bankruptcy of the record label. Second failed record attempt. After a time, they created, with the collaboration of the writer Iñaki Berrio (Rafael's brother), a new repertoire that interested the multinational Warner, which finally produced in early 1994 at Estudios IZ from Amasa (Guipúzcoa), what It would be his first LP, known as "black disc". It had an excellent critical reception, although not so good promotion, which had a negative impact on its sales ratio. In 1996, José Manuel Puerto (guitar) and José López (drums) left the band and José Luis “Cheli” Lanzagorta joined the keyboards (Orquesta Mondragón, Puskarra, La Buena Vida), Paúl Zubillaga (guitar) and Iñaki de Lucas on drums (La Buena Vida and producer of Estudio De Lucas). As a result of false expectations, they soon manage to disassociate themselves from the multinational company, which allowed them to prepare in 1997 and in the recently inaugurated Estudio De Lucas (San Sebastián), their second and last work, a new limited edition Lp titled "Una canción de mala muerte". They had the executive production of Diego Vasallo. In the promotional part they had to face a self-managed tour with some critical and public success. Soon after, the group would eventually dissolve.
