For every musician who has had the opportunity to work in a rock Creole, it is very shocking death of an exponent of this genre. Particularly in my case, it really hurts the game of Arturo "Zambo" Cavero, since I was lucky enough to accompany him to the frame in the rock musical "Charles and his rock".

  In 1982, I worked on that rock, and when the time came to marry my girlfriend Adriana, choose between the two, ask the owner of the rock, be our sponsor. The owner of the rock Samame Mr. Carlos Bulnes, (rest in peace), joyfully accepted this request.

  In the month of July 1984, (considering myself as an artist exponent of our native music), met my third anniversary in this activity. Our sponsor marriage: Carlos Bulnes, wanted homenajearme for this anniversary, and prepared for the event a night of rock, on a particular day, that would not have to cross with weekend performances. He suggested that we should invite Arturo "Zambo" Cavero, and Ana Maria Borja were my godparents for art, the hand of God we were lucky that this was reality.

  I am sure that for me, and to all the musicians who were lucky enough to accompany him on his performance, for Creole artists in full, and for all the people who appreciate his art, the "Zambo Cavero" will always live in our memories . Never turn off the voice that will be heard in the depths of our being.

Finally an enthusiastic Gwen decides to accept. Shortly after Tony Gwen kisses at a party and they hide their relationship to the band. Being a perfectionist organizer, Tony becomes the manager of the group.
The founder of the band, John Spence, committed suicide with a shot in a park in Anaheim. Days after the band was scheduled to perform at the Roxy in Hollywood, but then canceled his presentation were still saddened by the death of his friend.
But take your time and decide to continue, because John had wanted the band to go ahead.
In 1989 the band was completed with the addition of heavy metal guitarist, Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young. After playing their first gig outside of his home state, in front of 100 people Arizona.
In 1991, No Doubt signs a big contract with Interscope Records. Jimmy Iovine, one of the executives at Interscope, predicted that in five years would be a star Gwen. Moreover, the band was eager to play KROQ, local radio.
Between work and study (Tom is now a graduate in Music, Arts Gwen, Tony and Adrian in Psychology) the band takes a while to go to Los Angeles to record their first album, which consists of 14 tracks of old material and some new songs.
In March 1992 the band released their debut album "No Doubt", which sold only 30,000 copies and fails to touch on KROQ. The program director launched the phrase: "It would be a miracle of the Lord to touch the music on the radio." Later the band released the video for "Trapped In A Box" with a $ 5,000 budget, eventually, MTV never happened.
In 1993 the band began recording sessions that then be called Tragic Kingdom. Eric Stefani left the band before finishing Tragic Kingdom and began working as an animator on "The Simpsons".
After seven years of relationship, Tony becomes claustrophobic and breaks with Gwen, who still has much to sing and this is how comes the song "Don 't Speak" after this break.
Shortly after and in demand for new material by the fans, No Doubt launches "Beacon Street Collection" which consisted of 10 songs. They sold 1,000 copies in the first two weeks and so far this album has sold 100,000 copies.
In October 1995 he released "Tragic Kingdom", a mixture of ska, new wave, pop, punk and rock. With this record the station KROQ finally heeded and the promotional single "Just a Girl" is requested. Then the band goes on tour with 311.

In time for remembrance and for the last concert of the club tour, drummer Adrian Young turned to his girlfriend Nina which thrilled audiences and the band rocked.
By the end of 1999, it was ending production of the new album, while the band was preparing to welcome the new millennium in a mega concert in Times Square in New York, where they performed their new single, "Ex-Girlfriend".
In early 2000 we celebrate the wedding of Adrian and Nina, in which musicians are invited various friends of the band, including Sugar Ray. Back in February, launches the highly anticipated single "Ex-Girlfriend", on the radio and then I get video.
On April 11, 2000 is released "Return of Saturn", which contains 14 songs with style New Wave, reggae, pop and rock.
This album although it was good and reached platinum success did not reach before. They highlighted the hits "Ex-Girlfriend", "Simple Kind of Life", "New" and "Bathwater".
The band started working in 2001 in the production of his new album, "Rock Steady", which was released on December 12 of that year with the promotional single "Hey Baby", whose video appeared on MTV a few weeks back. This disc swept in sales during its first week and still remains among the 10 best-selling albums in the U.S..
After Return of Saturn, Rock Steady came, which was released the following year, on December 11, 2001. An album with 13 songs, singles "Hella Good", "Hey Baby" with Bounty Killer (both with great success and the second award in the Grammy for Best Pop Song), "Underneath It All" with Lady Saw (for the who took the Grammy in the same category as Hey Baby) and "Running".

This album is available "Rock Steady Live" DVD with live concert, in which they sing their new songs and past hits and best songs of the group.

The charismatic Eva Ayllon

In 1982, I worked as a musician guitarist and bassist in the rock "and Charles Peña" and I had the great opportunity to accompany - musically speaking - to many national artists and the occasional international. I learned a lot in those years. Both the native joint, as in the orchestra. Because the rock was set criollo and orchestra. With the set criollo was lucky to accompany "The Limeñita and Ascoy".My attitude at the rock, was somewhat selective in relation to artists operating in the premises. First observed behavior with other artists, and then I decided, if I approached, or not, to make conversation with him or her. If he saw that the singer was a little left over, I approached and no more afar, a smile on my diplomacy. But - of course - doing my work musically accompany. Total, I only understood with the director of the orchestra.I believe that family education strongly influences the behavior of people, and in cases of artists - singers, musicians, etc.. - Operates in the same way. But there is also the factor - overcome - to want: after achieving some fame, worry about learning to be more people. Grown, culturally speaking. Not everyone has the initiative (and the players).From the best impressions on me that caused the artists of that time, and with whom he could converse in a alturada, were: Eddy Martinez, Alejandro Ascoy, Cecilia Barraza, Neda Huambachano, Paquita Romero, Alberto Aro, Linda Lorens, Roberto Tello, Arturo "Zambo" Cavero, and some others that escape my memory.Unfortunately it was the other group, of which I will not mention their names, but I'll make an exception, because it is the news of the day. Eva Ayllon. The first impression I caused when I met her, was, that petulance and sobradera to others. I never went to pretend to make conversation with her. The opposite of the other, that the ayayaban and celebrated all his fits of indulgence of spoiled children.She has always been, and always will be. There is nothing to defend (as it has done: Gian Marco) there, who like to see on stage a person that mistreats its malcriadeces. It seems that these people like to be led by the evil (and that's possible).Anecdotally negative, always remember the rock "and Charles Peña". Appeared, began to sing and after each song, he turned his back to the audience and began to talk with the musicians (with me, of course) caring little or nothing to the public. And then he turned and said to the public that another pachotada (demonstrating its excellent low cultural level)Eva, is, and will remain so. If you never bothered to read, educate yourself a little more and try to be a better person, it's her problem. Now is when you start to harvest, everything that has been spoiled.
