Camilo Martinez, singer, won the colombian and brazilian music festival in 1992. Then, he joined G98, working with scratch and sequences. Juan David Villa (Juanda), leading guitar, was coming from the Juanita Dientesverdes band : he was involved in the recording of 3 albums in the early 90’s with the “Codiscos” record label. Gonzalo Hernandez (Chalo), drummer, took part of Frankie ha muerto’s project during 3 years of gigs and the recording of one of their albums.
But with La 45, these guys are playing a rock a little more mature, as we can observe in their 1st eponymous record, "LA 45", mixing with acoutic elements, bambuco melodies, the pasillo colombiano, bossanova, tango and also pop latino. For this record and their live concerts, there were guests like bandoneon and saxophonist Juan Antonio Murillo (Rey Gordiflon / Providencia), and also keyboarder Jesus David Llano (G98). Between the ending of 2005 and the early 2006, they released their 1st single untitled "Transplante", and got the top of local young charts. Oscar Azula director’s video clip was enjoyed by the medias and most of all by the audience in the different cities of Colombia. “Yo no sé” 2nd single made the band achieve an international gratitude, thanks to mexican, spanish and argentina radio stations’s broadcasting. "Dólar diez centavos" 3rd single confirmed the success of the band, even for people not really keen on Medellin’s rock, and they saw their fan base and name take a quantum leap. We could hear in many alternative radio stations another single called “calle abajo”, one of the favorite song of the audience according to a survey on internet. Always inspired by their own experiences and the daily life, they shot in april of 2008 their new video clip "Dólar Diez Centavos", based on real facts of immigrants searching for the american dream. With Fernando Puerta director and « Locomotora Produccion Audiovisual” label producer, "Dólar diez centavos" is the newest La 45 way of international fame, thanks to the musical and artistical hard works. In December 2008 the band released their 2nd album untitled "Canciones tristes y largos días", dealing with their experiences between Bogota and Medellin cities. Chalo Hernandez left the band in 2009 and the rest of LA 45 recorded 2 songs at ''La Finca Studios''produced by Toby Tobon (Juanes, Carlos Santana, David Bisbal, Amaury Gutierrez).

La 45 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
golpear matar otro poco de ti
de lo que queda en mi
y lo que tanto ame
no me lo puedes quitar
me abstengo de gritar
porque se que por mas fuerte que lo intente
nada me va a cambiar esta poca suerte
y el teléfono no sonara
Y es que a veces te quiero cambiar
y no se por que
pero no tengo control
odio este puto televisor
de tu vídeo me quieres borrar a mi
así como así
pero no va a ser tan fácil
por mas que te hagan un trasplante de corazón
no no pueden matar el amor
y no hago nada mas distinto que beberme tus labios en vino tinto
Y después de volverme a caer levantarme otra vez
y recoger del suelo todo lo que te entregue alguna vez
y ahora anda disperso por las calles de esta ciudad
que es solo tuya como mi cerebro
quiero matar mis sentimientos poder descansar,
y es que a veces te quiero cambiar
no se porque...
pero no tengo control
odio este puto televisor de
tu vídeo me quieres borrar
a mi así como así pero
no va a ser tan fácil
por mas que te hagan un trasplante de corazón
No no puedes matar el amor
y no hago nada mas distinto que beberme tus labios en vino tinto
Cada vez que vuelvo a despertar en la madrugada no puedo
hacer que tratar de olvidar,
recordar que estas enterrada para mi...
The lyrics to La 45's song Transplante describe the feeling of heartbreak and the struggle to move on after a relationship has ended. The singer wakes up to realize that their partner is no longer with them, and they are left with the memories of what once was. They express their pain through metaphorical language, comparing the process of moving on to killing off a part of themselves. The singer tries to restrain from screaming out their frustration, acknowledging that nothing they do will change their current situation. They talk about the frustration of wanting to change their feelings, but not having the power to do so. They mention the feeling of being erased from their partner's life, but refuse to let go of the love they once shared. The singer acknowledges that even if their partner were to have a heart transplant, it would not change the fact that their love cannot be killed.
The second verse expresses the singer's desire to move on from the relationship, yet struggling to do so. They mention wanting to be able to forget, but being unable to due to the memories and reminders of their former partner that surround them. They express their desire to erase their feelings, comparing them to a disease that they want to kill off. However, they acknowledge that this is not an easy feat, and they continue to struggle with their emotions. The chorus reiterates the idea that despite their desire to move on and forget, their love cannot be shaken or erased, using the metaphor of drinking their partner's lips in red wine. The song ends with the realization that the singer cannot escape their feelings, and they are constantly reminded of their loss.
