PERSONAL OPINION
We decided to explain this group because we like their music and also because is an Spanish group. Doing this homework we learn a lot of things about the band. For example we didn’t know Dani Martin participed in some films. Their songs received a lot of prizes and some of her singles was a really heat in Spain during a lot of time. They have collection of some old songs, like “Devuelme a mi chica” by Hombres G, “La Chica de ayer” by Nacha Pop
