The Azúcar Moreno sisters began their singing careers singing back-up to their brothers, but in 1982, they were discovered and signed by a record label. In 1985, their first album was released. Azúcar Moreno became famous all over Spain, the rest of Europe and Latin America, after singing their song Bandido at the Eurovision Song Contest 1990.
