Pimpinela

Joaquín and Lucía Galán, better known as Pimpinela (Spanish for pimpernel) are an Argentine duo famous for singing romantic musical pieces and known for their original singing style. They have sold over 12 million records in Argentina and 25 million worldwide.

History

Lucía Galán Cuervo (May 23, 1961) she is 55 now and Joaquín Roberto Galán Cuervo (July 21, 1955) is 61 now, were born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Joaquín and Lucía are siblings of Spanish settler ancestry, more accurately of an Asturian father and Leonese mother. At first they sang for family and friends, but later they each pursued a solo career. Joaquín joined the group "Luna de Cristal".

In 1981 the duo recorded their first single together. It is well known that Joaquín was not eager to start with the group but was convinced to do otherwise by songwriter Luis Aguilé.

In 1984 their song "Olvídame y pega la vuelta" became a No. 1 hit. Others followed, and as they continued to rise in fame, they developed a characteristic style of couples arguing and breaking up, rather than falling in love.

Currently they are working on their compilation "25 Aniversario".
