The band was formed in Lima by several members of the very well known (locally) clown troupé called "Pataclaun" including Jorge "Pelo Madueño" , Gonzalo Torres and Johanna San Miguel.
Their first public performance was on October 31st, 1991 in "Centro Cultural Parra del Riego" (Barranco, Lima) along with established local musician Miki Gonzales.
In 1994 the band released their first album "Al derecho y al revés" including "Aldina" which had brief rotation on MTV Latino. Two years later "Por tierra" ("By land") under the label "Discos Independientes", including the original version of their first - though minor - hit "La Peor de las Guerras" ("The worst of all wars"). Local success ensued and the band was signed by SONY MUSIC in 1998. With SONY they released "Mundo Cachina" which had wide rotation in Peruvian media helped by the video clips for "Mala Sangre" and "No es amor"
In 1999 the band was invited to Sony International's A&R Convention where bands like La Oreja de Van Gogh and Creed (band), also played.
After heavy touring the band went into hiatus in 2000, however in 2007 founding member "Pelo" Madueño announced the band would be playing together again.
Cae La Noche
La Liga del Sueño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Muere el día, caen los hombres
Nace una oscura ciudad(x2)
Entre sus calles voy a mil
Corriendo por sus venas
Perdido en sus ojos
Ansia blanco polvo
Labios, cuerpos rotos, no me mires así!
Cae la noche y nace aquí la oscuridad
Muere el día, caen los hombres
Nace una oscura ciudad(x2)
Gentes que van
Pasos que caen
Derramando el tiempo
Palabras entre tú y yo
Inventan mil momentos
No quiero ver la luz del sol!(x3)
(cae la noche
nace aquí la oscuridad
por el día caen los hombres
nace aquí una oscura ciudad)
Perdido en sus ojos(x4)
The lyrics of La Liga del Sueño's song Cae (Recae) La Noche are centered around the themes of darkness, lost souls and drug addiction. The first verse describes the onset of night, which brings darkness to the city and the end of the day, causing people to collapse, succumbing to their addictions.
The second verse describes the experience of running through the streets of the city. The singer feels lost and entranced by the pulsing energy of the city, craving white powder and empty, broken bodies. He begs someone not to look at him, perhaps because he is afraid of their judgement or because he is ashamed of his own desire for drugs.
The final verse talks of the people in the city, and how they are wasting time and moments of their lives without thought. The singer states that he does not want to see the light of day, emphasizing the idea that the darkness of night and drugs provides him with a sense of comfort and refuge from reality.
