History

Claudia Sinesi and Maria Gabriela Epumer met in 1978, and played together in a garage band. Epumer joined the cover band Rouge in 1982, and proposed that Sinesi joined it as well. The band broke up when the military junta forbade music in English language, as their set list was composed completely of covers of English-speaking bands. Sinesi and Epumer stayed together, and Mavi Diaz proposed them to start an all-girls band. Their first long play was released in 1984, with songs such as "Potpourri (Olla podrida)", "Te Encargo mi Modernidad" and "Bikini a Lunares, Amarillo, Diminuto, Justo Justo", a cover of Brian Hyland's single Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini . The second long play included a popular cover of the song "Lollipop". [1] [2]

The third album had lower sales, and the records label went into bankruptcy, leading to the break up of the band. The band reunited for concerts along the years. [1] [2]

<i>Mujer contra mujer</i> (album) 1990 studio album by Sandra Mihanovich and Celeste Carballo

Mujer contra mujer is the second and final studio album by the pop duo formed by Argentine singers Sandra Mihanovich and Celeste Carballo, released by RCA Records and Sony BMG in October 1990. Mihanovich and Carballo had already developed successful solo careers before joining as a duo. After collaborating on a successful show in the summer of 1987, they decided to record together and released their first studio album as a duo, Somos mucho más que dos, in 1988. Around this time, Mihanovich and Carballo became romantically involved, although not publicly. Their songs included subtle references to lesbian love, and the nature of their relationship caused much speculation in the media. Before forming the duo, Mihanovich already had two popular gay anthems in her repertoire: her 1981 breakthrough single "Puerto Pollensa", and "Soy lo que soy", her 1984 Spanish-language cover of "I Am What I Am".
