From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poligamia is a Colombian rock band founded Bogotá,Colombia in the early 90's by Andrés Cepeda, Juan Gabriel Turbay, Freddy Camelo, Gustavo Gordillo and César López. All five attended Emilio Valenzuela High School and started playing together.

Their first almum Una Canción was produced and released in 1993 by Sony Music, after the group won a local battle of the bands for a local radio station by composing and singing Bailando sobre tu Piel. The album main hits were: "Desvanecer" composed by Turbay, "Una Canción", "Mi Generación" and "Beverly Hills". The song Beverly Hills was composed mainly because at that time the TV-series Beverly Hills 90210 was famous in the local television.

Their second album was released in 1995 under the title "Vueltas y Vueltas". The main hits were "Confusión" by Turbay and "Fue Solo Amor".

The final studio album was released in 1996, and it did not received a great acceptance from the audience and did not have any major hit.

Poligamia decided to break up in 1998 because of the interest of each member to follow different careers in Music and Production. The farewell concert was programmed as the first in a festival with different rock bands from Bogota and was recorded as a live album named "Buenas Gracias - Muchas Noches" that included a live performance of the band's main hits and a new song named "Hasta que venga la mañana". Also, the album included a bonus track named "Ciertas Cosas". This song was lately re-recorded by Andres Cepeda in his first solo album "Se Morir"
