La Ley (Spanish for "The Law") was a Grammy Award and two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Chilean pop rock band formed by Andrés Bobe and Rodrigo Aboitiz with Mauricio Claveria, Beto Cuevas and Luciano Rojas in Santiago, Chile.
They were originally formed in 1987, and was meant to be a techno/new rave band led by a female vocalist. The original vocalist of the band was Lucía "Shia" Arbulu, female singer that returned to her hometown, Spain, in 1988, shortly after the release of the first EP of the group, which was entitled La Luna.

This release that was later not considered part of La Ley's discography. Some time after Beto Cuevas joined as the new vocalist, and after a failed first album, Desiertos (1989), they released Doble Opuesto (1990), which appears as the official first album of the band. Singles like "Desiertos," "Tejedores de Ilusión," and "Prisioneros de la Piel" made them popular in Chile, Argentina and Mexico, especially after the release of La Ley, their second recording (1992).
After Bobe's death in 1994, La Ley continued with a new guitarist, Pedro Frugone, and released two more albums, Invisible (1995) and Vértigo (1998). Before the release of Vertigo, Rodrigo Aboitiz left the band, and in 1999, in the middle of the tour, bassist Luciano Rojas, left the band. They went on to form a new group named Saiko with former La Ley member, Ivan Delgado.
Their music became more pop and less experimental, and the musicians dropped their dark image. Not all of their fans were on board with the new style, but the album, Uno (2000), showed their maturation as a band and as a group. The band also became a trio after the departures of Rodrigo Aboitiz and Luciano Rojas. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
La Ley also performed on MTV Unplugged in 2001, and released an album of the performance, which went on to win a Latin Grammy award. Libertad (2003) is La Ley's last official album, also earning them their second Latin Grammy. In 2004, they released a greatest hits compilation (featuring three new songs: Mírate, Bienvenido al Anochecer, and Histeria) titled Historias e Histeria.
In 2005 Rodrigo Aboitiz and Luciano Rojas performed with the band at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival (Spanish: Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar) and after a tour around Latin America, the band said goodbye in Buenos Aires on September 29 of the same year, to work in their personal projects. They left open the possibility for a come back of La Ley in the future though.
Recently however, in 2014, the band has currently made a return and have embarked on a tour simply entitled 'The Re-tour'.

La Ley Lyrics
El ojo de tu amor se va cerrar
Y no sé si acaso vuelva a despertar
Yo sobrexistiré con el viejo sol
Bajo el manto de alguna auto compasión
Para creer
Que los llantos que ahogan este amanecer
Me harán brotar
El mar de norte a sur se va secar
Y no sé si pueda ahora navegar
Para volver
Y los llantos que ahogan este atardecer
Me harán viajar
Solamente solo existo en este altar
Solamente solo persisto en este amar
Bésame y bésame hasta sentirte animal
El hijo de una star se va acostar
Y no sé si quiera ahora levantarse
Para crecer
Y los llantos que ahogan su anochecer
Lo harán gritar
Bésame y bésame hasta sentirte animal
Bésame y bésame hasta morir solo animal
Bésame y bésame hasta sufrir animal
Bésame y bésame hasta morir solo animal

Mi tema favorito de esta enorme banda. Tiene una atmosfera dificil de describir con palabras. Lo que me gusta de estas composiciones liricas es que cada quien le da un significado especial y unico. Dependiendo el momento de tu vida en que la escuches puede tener diferente significado.

Esa intro de guitarra nadie lo puede igualar, recuerdo que los fui a ver en vivo y me tocó escuchar las pruebas de sonido con este rolonononon!!!

Por esta bandota es que me volví músico. No sólo era Beto Cuevas, sino todos. La verdad este disco y el de Vértigo son los mejores!
Bellos momentos de mi infancia. :)

hola, yo soy de mexico y soy super fan de este grupo no solo por la impresionante voz de beto cuevas que es ciertamente un cantante pues su voz se oye exactamente igual en vivo q en un disco y eso se aprecia sino las letras de sus canciones son profundas y con un sentido no como muchos que se dicen ser cantantes y sus letras son una basura con 2 frases y su voz en vivo es espantosaa!!

3:46 esa parte en adelante me hace volar xD no tengo palabras el riff de la guitarra y las vocales de beto sin explicar
