"Desiertos" is a now extinct and fan searched album of the Chilean pop/rock band, La Ley. The album was the only album released with all the original membres: Beto Cuevas, Mauricio Clavería, Andrés Bobe, Luciano Rojas, and Rodrigo Aboitiz. Only 500 copies of the album were released, due to inner problems with the album producer. Eventually, the album became a fan searched album. Only one single was released from the album, the song "Desiertos" (However, it must be noted that the song "Espina Feroz" was considered for release as the first single.)

[edit] Backstory

La Ley's main singer, Shia Arbulú, left the band after some unnoticed demos, to return to her native Spain. Therefore, Rodrigo and Bobe were soon joined by Luciano Rojas, the bassist, and Mauricio Claveria, the drummer, joined them. However, the group lacked of a main vocalist, and decided to put a saxophonist named Iván Delgado as it. They soon realized that he was not the correct man for the job and decided to "fired" him.

In those times, Beto Cuevas was going around Chile to meet the country where he was born. His siter knew Mauricio's sister, and he decided to tell the band that Beto was his "cousin" so he could get a chance. It was soon understood by them that Beto was certainly their man, and decided to include him in the band. As a result the band resulted, which are consider the original members, in:

Beto Cuevas - Vocals
Andres Bobé - Guitars
Rodrigo Aboitiz - Keyboard
Luciano Rojas - Bass
Mauricio Clavería - Drums

After the formation of the group, they are invited to form their first album, which is done almost entirely by Bobe, with the participation of Cuevas in one of the songs' lyrics, and with some collaboration of the other members in the final phase. Soon, the 500 copies of the album were released, however, they were soon going to be take out, as the producer of the album, Carlos Fonseca, and the band got into a big fight. As they lacked of a contract, the band leaved him with their, at that time, current manager.
