The group's first trial was in 1985. They gave their first concert in January 1986 and performed regularly in small venues in the city of Madrid. [3] The agreement with the multinational EMI allowed them to publish their first album, entitled Los Ronaldos, with one of their first hits. From that first LP several immediate hits emerged such as "Sí, sí", "Si os vais" or "Ana y Choni". Their next album, Saca la Lengua (1988), was the most successful, due to its star track, "Adiós papá", one of the group's most popular songs. In 1990, Sabor salado was released, recorded in the United Kingdom and produced by John Cale, which did not have such massive public support as the previous two. [1] [2] [4]

With him, they published in 1996 what would be their last album, Quiero que estemos cerca, a live recording that included all their greatest hits. Two years later the band was broken up. [5]
In 2007, the original band of Los Ronaldos met again on the occasion of the release of a new EP titled 4 Canciones, which contained several unreleased songs that became big hits such as "No puedo vivir sin ti". [6] In the summer of that year they made a promotional tour, and recorded a live album titled La bola extra. [7] In 2008 they split up again and continued their solo careers. [1]
