== History == After an unsuccessful first album, ''[[Desiertos]]'' (1990), they released ''[[Doble Opuesto]]'' (1991), which appears as the official first album of the band. Singles like "Desiertos," "Tejedores de Ilusión," and "Prisioneros de la Piel" made them stars in [[Chile]], [[Argentina]] and [[Mexico]]{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}, especially after the release of ''[[La Ley (album)|La Ley]]'', their second recording (1993). After Bobe's death in 1994, La Ley continued with a new guitarist, Pedro Frugone, and released two more albums; in 1995, the band released ''[[Invisible (La Ley album)|Invisible]]'', the album was their international breakout record and provided to the band their best-selling studio album to date, it included the number ones "Dia Cero" and "El Duelo". Before the release of ''[[Vértigo (La Ley album)|Vértigo]]'', Rodrigo Aboitiz left the band. In the middle of the tour, bassist Luciano Rojas left the band as well, and together with the Aboitiz formed a new group named [[Saiko (band)|Saiko]]. Their music became more rock and less experimental, and the musicians dropped their dark image. Not all of their fans were on board with the new style, but the last La Ley albums, ''[[Uno (La Ley album)|Uno]]'' (2000) and ''[[Libertad (La Ley)|Libertad]]'' (2003), consolidated the band as one of the most important in Latin America, earning it a Latin Grammy award for each of the two albums. La Ley also performed on ''[[La Ley MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]]'' in 2001,<ref name=unp>{{cite news |last1=Brito Adrián |first1=Edecio |title=La Ley MTV Unplugged: Se cumplen 20 años de la grabación del álbum |url=https://www.concierto.cl/2021/06/la-ley-mtv-unplugged-se-cumplen-20-anos-de-la-grabacion-del-album/ |access-date=12 November 2023 |agency=Concierto |date=28 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author1=Billboard Staff |title=MTV Unplugged |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mtv-unplugged-2-78345/ |access-date=12 November 2023 |agency=Billboard |date=29 September 2001}}</ref> and released an album of the performance, which went on to win a Grammy award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/cultura/la-ley-obtuvo-el-grammy-latino-al-mejor-album-rock/2002-09-18/231300.html|title=La Ley obtuvo el Grammy Latino al Mejor Album Rock|website=Cooperativa.cl|language=es|access-date=2019-12-11}}</ref> In 2004, they released a [[greatest hits]] compilation (featuring three new songs: Mírate, Bienvenido al Anochecer, and Histeria) titled ''[[Historias e Histeria]].''<ref>{{Citation|title=Historias e Histerias (Remastered) by La Ley|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/historias-e-histerias-remastered/570591302|publisher=[[iTunes Store|iTunes]]|language=en-us|access-date=2019-12-11}}</ref> In 2005 Rodrigo Aboitiz and Luciano Rojas performed with the band at the [[Viña del Mar International Song Festival]] (Spanish: Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/entretencion/festival-de-vina/la-ley-y-alexandre-pires-lo-mejor-de-una-gran-cuarta-noche-de-festival/2005-02-19/215548.html|title=La Ley y Alexandre Pires, lo mejor de una gran cuarta noche de festival|website=Cooperativa.cl|language=es|access-date=2019-12-11}}</ref> and after a tour around Latin America, the band dissolved in Buenos Aires on September 29, to work on their personal projects, leaving open the possibility for a return in the future. Most of the original members have since formed a group known as Dia Cero with Chilean singer Ignacio Redard.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.star-telegram.com/la-estrella/article226482425.html|title=DIACERO, con historia en su sangre}}</ref> On February 22, 2023, the official lineup for the Besame Mucho Festival <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/besame-mucho-2023-lineup-los-bukis-mana-1235257623/|title=Los Bukis, Maná, Gloria Trevi & More to Headline Bésame Mucho 2023|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> was published, which took place on December 2, 2023, at [[Dodger Stadium]] in Los Angeles, California. This caused a stir among the fans of the band because the name of La Ley appeared along with other emblematic artists of Latin music with great experience. Speculations continued for a week about whether it was really a meeting between the members of La Ley after 7 years, or possibly a new composition of the band led by Cuevas. On March 1, exactly one week after announcing the Besame Mucho Festival lineup, an official statement was published by Beto Cuevas and Mauricio Clavería on their respective Instagram accounts, confirming the band's reunion with their latest formation. official of Cuevas, Clavería and Frugone. In the same statement, it is mentioned that it is a one-time reunion for the only occasion for the mentioned festival, so no plans to work together in the future have been contemplated.
