La Quinta Estacion - El Sol No Regresa

An unexpected rags-to-riches story, La Quinta Estacion's rise to fame is (once again) proof of the star-making power of television.

The band was formed in Madrid in 2001; they failed to get a publishing contract there and got signed by Sony Music Mexico. They struggled to make ends meet for a few months, until one of their songs, ?Donde Iran? (Where will they go?) was chosen as a theme song for a major Mexican telenovela.  Jackpot! 

Today's song, El Sol Ne Regresa, was the first single from the band's second album. I was won over by the video's simple but effective idea - I won't tell you which is, you can see for yourselves.

If you're not really convinced yet, you might want to know they won the Latin Grammy Best Pop Album in 2006 and 2007, and also MTV Latinoamerica's Best New Artist - Mexico.
