Radio Pirata
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio Pirata and Rucco Gandía (in the middle)
Radio Pirata was a Rock en Español band from Puerto Rico. Rucco Gandía formed the band in 1994 in the midst of a boom in rock music in the island.
During this period, the band achieved success with their hit song called "El Loco" (The Crazy). It was then that Fonovisa signed them up to release their first album. The album spawned hits like "No Me Dejes Así" (Don't Leave Me Like This) and "Historia Natural" (Natural History). They won a Tu Música award in 1995 for Best Record and a Gold Momo in 1996 for Best Local Rock Band. In 1998 they followed with their second album, "Todavía" (Still).
As the decade approached its end, the rock phenomenon in the island had diminished and the band started to vanish.
