Event description

Spain's acclaimed singer/songwriter and multi-platinum artist Enrique Bunbury will make his Greek Theatre, Los Angeles debut on Friday, September 5.

Enrique Bunbury started his career in 1979 when he bought his first electric guitar, since then, Bunbury grew his Spanish rock career in multiple avenues. His internationally successful band, Heroes del Silencio, set records that no other Spanish rock group had achieved before.  With Heroes del Silencio, Bunbury worked two fundamental aspects which later helped him to define his solo career. The first was the mixture of influences without losing his Spanish-Latino identity and the second: his creative philosophy that recognizes change as an engine. 

In 1996 the band dissolved and Bunbury started a solo career that has extended to the present. For eighteen years he has continually expanded as an artist, crossing musical boundaries with bravery and courage. "Radical Sonora" (1997) was his first solo album; a fusion of electronic and organic rock with edge delivering new songs which included the singles 'Salome' and 'Alicia (evicted into wonderland)'. A catharsis following the presentation of the debut tour ended up in the recording of "Pequeño" (1999), in which Bunbury reformulates himself as a musician capable of dominating his native land by savoring and fusing his Arabic and Latin American roots. Additionally he produced "Pequeño Cabaret Ambulante" (2000), a live album in Mexico that reinforced his new phase of reinvention and to which he added the release of several singles, full of new and unreleased material. If "Pequeno" was humble, "Flamingos" (2002) became a great successor, which continued to feed on personal feelings but at the same time confronted adversity with ‘inner strength' and rock sounds of thick guitars and sturdy metal. The resulting sound was luxurious and exciting, a trip to the end of the night in which there are many secrets, madness, ecstasy and sorrow embodied in "Lady Blue", "Sácame de Aquí" and "Al Final". These songs would become some of his greatest hits. The DVD "Una Cita en Flamingos" (2003) was noted for a spectacularly long tour which again traveled between two continents and left the singer at the end of his strength.

In 2013, Bunbury reinvented himself yet again with "Palosanto", an album with aseptic and cold production applied to hot and emotional songs reflecting on the world's revolutions as well as the self-inner revolution. It is a new journey of cosmic guitar sounds, earthy rhythms and irreproachable songs, including the first single "Despierta" and other soon to be anthems such as "Más Alto Que Nosotros Sólo el Cielo" and "Todo".
