Hombres G experienced a meteoric rise to fame in Spain in the '80s. The pop-rock band differed from many Spanish musicians at the time: sardonic where others were earnest, rock-oriented at a time when New Wave hadn't yet broken in Spain, and, quite simply, fun. Their first hit, "Devuelveme a mi chica," stood out not just for the lighthearted instrumentation but also for lyrics about a jealous man worried another guy might steal his girl. Rather than devolving into machismo, it just describes the goofy, hidden ways he might foil his rival. It was a smash hit. The band, bolstered by their early following in Madrid, rode a juggernaut of hit singles that demolished album sales records and led to a 1987 tour of Spain that reached an estimated one million people, followed by a highly successful tour of the Americas. Although the band broke up in 1993, they've reconnected periodically over the years, releasing an occasional album and undertaking tours to a rapturous reception.
