Los Bravos
- Colonna sonora
Rock group formed in 1965 in Madrid, Spain, inspired by the Liverpool beat bands of the early 1960' s most especially The Beatles. Los Bravos became an international sensation with their 1966 recording of "Black is black" a top 10 hit in England, The United States and all over the world selling over a million copies of the single.
Founding members were: Michael Volker Kogel, aka Mike Kennedy, vocals; Antonio Martínez Salas, lead guitar; Manuel Fernández Aparicio, organ; Miguel Vicens Danus, bass guitar; Pablo Sanllehí Gómez, drums.
They were all born in Spain except for Mike Kennedy who was born in Berlin, Germany. In 1968, founding member Manuel Fernández Aparicio committed suicide and was replaced by Jesús Glück Sarasibar on organ. Although they never matched the success of "Black is black", their recordings continued to do well in Europe and the band itself became legendary. There have been reunions of Los Bravos alumni in 2004, 2015, and 2019 although sometimes these "reunions" included new members.
