Known for their creative use of "Spanglish", Los Abandoned quickly gained a strong local fanbase in multicultural LA. They are also considered to be a Latin rock or Rock en español band, since much of their lyrics, song titles, hooks, and choruses are in Spanish or bilingual in English.

The band was fronted by bilingual lead singer María del Pilar aka Pilar Díaz (or Lady P), who is of Chilean heritage. During one point in their career they were signed by Maverick Records, but were eventually dropped from the label and picked up by Vapor. Their biggest hits include Panic-oh, Van Nuys Es Very Nice, and Stalk U. Before splitting, the band successfully released two EPs and one LP.

During their relatively short career, Los Abandoned performed with legendary musicians such as Café Tacuba, The Breeders, Caléxico, Julieta Venegas, Molotov and Aterciopelados. The band participated in both the 2004 and 2006 South By Southwest festivals in Austin, Texas. Another highlight was playing the Latin Alternative Music Conferance on the Santa Monica Pier in 2005, alongside Mexican singer-songwriter Ely Guerra and Columbian pop singer Andrea Echeverri. The band's philanthropic contributions include opening the Bridge School Benefit for Paul McCartney, Neil Young, and the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers.

They announced their split during summer 2007. Pilar Diaz continues to record as a solo artist.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Te veo ansioso, no queda nada
Estas marchando con lo que odio

Conquistarte bien, conquistarte bien I'm gonna!

Te cres precioso, muy religioso
Estas pensando en lo mas obvio de las tentaciones
Con tus opiniones cambiaras por mi

Si solo supieras, que hay cosas mejores

Conquistarte bien, conquistarte bien im gonna!

Mi seduccion te atrae, mis seis sentidos
Aire bueno, no hay enemigos
Te veo ansioso, no queda nada

Conquistarte bien, conquistarte bien I'm gonna!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Abandoned's song Conquistarte Bien seem to be about the singer's desire to win over someone they are attracted to despite their religious beliefs and opinions. The first stanza suggests that the person being pursued is marching towards something they hate or dislike, and the singer sees them as anxious. The chorus repeats the phrase "conquistarte bien" (meaning "conquer you well"), which can be interpreted as the singer expressing their determination to win over this person.

The second stanza describes the person being pursued as "precioso" (precious) and "muy religioso" (very religious), but they are also thinking about "las tentaciones" (temptations). The singer believes that their seduction will attract this person and they will change their opinions for them, if only they knew that there are "cosas mejores" (better things) out there. The last stanza repeats the image of the person being anxious and suggests that the singer has six senses that can help them conquer the person, and that there is no need for enemies because the air is good.
