The first three of them attended Colegio San Carlos and were expelled in mid-school. They finished high school at Colegio Emilio Valenzuela where they met Camelo and López and started playing together.

Their first album Una Canción was produced and released in 1993 by Sony Music, who signed the group as an award after it controversially won a local battle of the bands for local radio station Radioactiva, against rock band EL Zut. The winning song was "Bailando sobre tu Piel".

The album's main hits were: "Desvanecer" composed by Turbay, "Una Canción", "Mi Generación" and "Beverly Hills". The song "Beverly Hills" was composed at the time the TV-series Beverly Hills 90210 was popular in local television.

Their second album was released in 1995 under the title Vueltas y Vueltas. The main hits were "Confusión" written by Turbay and "Fue Solo Amor".

The final studio album was released in 1996, and it did not receive great reception from the audience nor it had any major hit.

Poligamia decided to break up in 1998 because of the interest of each member to follow different careers in music and production. The farewell concert was programmed as the first in a festival with different bands from Bogota and was recorded as a live album named "Buenas Gracias - Muchas Noches" that included a live performance of the band's main hits and a new song named "Hasta que venga la mañana". Also, the album included a bonus track named "Ciertas Cosas". This song was lately re-recorded by Andres Cepeda in his first solo album "Se Morir"

Sony Music released a Poligamia greatest hits album in 2001.

Desvanecer
Poligamia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y saco fuerzas de donde no hay
Para hablarte de la forma en que yo más sé
Sentados en frente del piano

Tanto tiempo viviendo y sintiéndome así
Palabras que quise y no pude decir
Tal vez sea tarde, pero el mundo en que das vueltas
No me deja ni hablarte

Sólo quiero mirarte reír
Que seas feliz cuando estás junto a mí
Y tener un lugar en tu mente

Sólo quiero hacerte sentir por mí
Lo mismo que siento yo por tí
Pero no lo podía decir

Entonces te envolví en mi canción
Por primera vez sentiste aquella voz
Desahogándose, gritándote
Haciéndote entender

Oh nena tu te vez tan linda que siento......

Entonces te envolví en mi canción
Por primera vez, sentiste aquella voz
Desahogándose, gritándote
Haciéndote entender

Oh nena tu te vez tan linda que siento
Que el mundo tiende a desvanecer
