La 5ª Estación have made Mexico their home, where they live, create and play their songs. "We believed in the project," comments Natalia. "When we still didn’t have anything we would imagine that it would be well received in Latin America, but we never thought that we’d cross the Atlantic so fast. All of a sudden we got a contact in Mexico and we went there to record."
By the end of 2002, they had recorded their first album in Madrid. Entitled Primera Toma, the album was solely released in Mexico. The first single, "Donde Iran," was chosen as the soundtrack for the youth soap opera Clase 406.
In February 2004 Flores de Alquiler, their second album, which the band chose to produce entirely in Mexico, was completed. It included eleven fresh self-authored songs that definitely reflected their enormous growth on both, a musical and a poetic level.
Flores de Alquiler earned the band innumerable honors and achievements: La 5ª. Estacion hit Double Platinum in Mexico and United States. They were given several important recognitions such as the Billboard Award for Best Latin Pop Airplay, New Generation, (“Algo Mas”); ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) United States’s Best Rock Song award; and the “Orgullosamente Latino, People’s Choice 2005” award in the Best Latin Group category (an award voted on by the Ritmoson Latino channel’s TV audience). The album’s success was totally reflected by the extraordinary sold-out concert they gave at the Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City in April 2005.
At the end of that same year, they recorded their first live acoustic record, entitled Acústico, La Quinta Estación, with versions of hits such as “Perdición,” “Daria,” “El Sol No Regresa,” “Algo Más” and “Niña.” The album reached Platinum in Mexico and United States, selling over 200,000 copies.
Their live sound has become characterized for being powerful and vibrant, something they have proven in more than two years of touring important venues while touring Latin America, the United States and Spain.
In 2006, their growth process continued coinciding with the cutting of El Mundo se Equivoca. This positioned them further in all the territories during 2006 and 2007, with more than 30 concerts per year during each summer.
In 2007, as a result of their incredible job on this album, they received a number of honors and awards including the Latin Grammy for Best Pop Album by a Group or Duo.
In 2008, during the El Mundo Se Equivoca tour they performed over 30 sold out shows in Spain, earning them total recognition and success in their homeland, where their album reigned at the top of the charts of Spain’s highest-selling albums for 81 weeks.
It is in this way that these “immigrants of music” have earned an important place in the music scenes in Mexico, Spain and Latin America. With a career full of hits and awards, now La Quinta Estación returns with a new and extraordinary album entitled Sin Frenos.
