He got involved in music in the early 1980s, making his debut in a high school band called Apocalipsis, and later played along with Proceso Entrópico. In 1984 Bunbury joined a group called Zumo de Vidrio, debuting as a lead vocalist. After adopting the nickname of Bunbury, taken from an Oscar Wilde novel, the musician teamed up with Héroes del Silencio, becoming a major number in the Spanish rock scene.

The band eventually broke up in 1996 and Bunbury started his solo career in 1997 with a techno album, Radical Sonora with his new band: Copi (piano), del Moran (bass), Ramón Gacias (drums) and former Héroes del Silencio guitarrist Alan Boguslavsky.

Recognized by his wish to always reinvent himself, Bunbury released in 1999 the album Pequeño, which sounded much different than anything he did before. His band also suffered changes, Boguslavsky was replaced by Rafa Domínguez, and the new faces, Ana Belén Estaje (violin), Luis Miguel Romero (percussion), Javier Iñigo, Javier García Vega & Antonio Ríos in the metal instruments.

This band was known as the "Huracán Ambulante" ("Rambling Hurricane") and recorded with Bunbury the rest of his solo discography, (except Antonio Ríos).

In 2005, after 8 years together, Bunbury dissolved the band and declared that will record a new album in 2006 only with his voice and a piano. Nevertheless, in early 2006 he recorded an album with spanish artist Nacho Vegas by the name of El tiempo de las cerezas.

His old band, Héroes del Silencio, reunited in 2007 for a short tour which visited Latin America, United States and Spain.

Solo si me perdonas
Enrique Bunbury Lyrics

Una palabra más rotunda que otra
No me otorga ni un gramo de verdad
Seguro que sólo quería demostrar
Esta inseguridad que me devora

A mí ahora, de nuevo otra vez
He vuelto a sobrepasar
El límite que puedes soportar

De esta no salgo vivo

Si me perdonas y me das
Otra oportunidad, amor
Prometo escribirte una canción
Diciendo que ahora acepto la derrota
Pero sólo si me perdonas

Te he pedido demasiada atención
Y tienes cosas en que pensar
Sólo te quería recordar
Que sin ti yo no soy nadie

Tengo un plan que no me puede fallar
Y no hay tiempo que perder
Para poner de nuevo en pie
Los escombros que nos restan

Si me perdonas y me das
Otra oportunidad, amor
Prometo escribirte una canción
Diciendo que ahora acepto la derrota
Pero sólo si me perdonas

Si me perdonas y me das otra oportunidad, amor
Prometo escribirte una canción

Diciendo que ahora acepto la derrota
Pero sólo si me perdonas
