Mocedades

Spanish vocal group Mocedades was formed in 1967 by four young students from Bilbao. Inspired by folk music and songs by the Beatles, they started a band called Voces y Guitarras, later named Mocedades. Mocedades started making history in 1973 when the band came in second place at Eurovisión's Festival with its song "Eres Tú," followed soon after by a second smash hit called "Tómame o Déjame." In 1980, Mocedades signed up to CBS and started working with producer Oscar Gómez. While the group started going through a period of important changes, its remaining members were able to start all over again, without giving any chance to a final breakup. Songs such as "Amor de Hombre" and "Maitechu Mia," recorded along with Plácido Domingo, climbed on popular music charts. Swapping out different singers throughout its career didn't change Mocedades' sound, which retained a solid prestige strengthened by followers all around the world. Izaskun Uranga, the only remaining member from the group's original, formed her own version of Mocedades with former members Rosa Rodríguez, Jose Miguel González, Fernando Gonzalez and José María Santamaría. Mocedades continued touring and recording, issuing the album Por Amor a Mexico for Fonovisa Records in early 2018.
