One of the first successful latin rock bands in Colombia, Los Aterciopelados is among the Latin American country's top groups. The recipients of Grammy award nominations in 1997 and 1998, the band has fused its own sound by combining a rock-solid approach with a variety of Latin American musical traditions including mariachi, bolero, tropical and flamenco. Los Aterciopelados, whose name translates as "the Velvety Ones," was formed by former members of Delia Y Los Aminoacidos -- Andrea Echeverri, who plays acoustic guitar and sings lead, and HÃ©ctor Buitrago, who plays bass guitar. The original drummer Andres Giraldo* was replaced by Alejandro Duque in 1995 and the original guitar player Charlie Marquez was replaced by Alejandro Gomez Caceras in 1997. Also, lead singer Andrea Echeverri was chosen by Gustavo Cerati to sing " En la Ciudad de la Furia" for Soda Stereo's MTV unplugged album.

Ella Lyrics

Aterciopelados

Despertaba en las noches,
presa de un denso frenes,
pero no, no me cambiaba por nadie,
te soaba estrellndote en las olas,
e inundndome
pero no, no, no, no me mojabas.
Coro
Engao y tristeza,
en el corazn,
tu vida se ha ido,
con el aguijn.
Te atraparon con redes
en las aguas del ocano,
pero no, no, no, no te olvidaron,
tu nadabas experta,
entre cardumenes azules,
pero no, no, no, no te vea
Coro
Naufragaste, en un iceberg,
cuando el titanic se hundi,
pero no, no, no te rescataron,
y lanzaste un mensaje,
de auxilio, en la botella,
pero no, no, no lo repondieron.
Coro
Ay que pesar en el mar, en el mar.
