Azúcar Moreno: A not so sweet present
It was 1990 in Zagreb - the then FRY -, the first edition of Eurovision held in a Balkan city. Spain's "Bandido", started with a technical glitch in the backing track. It was the beginning of a disrupted career of the two sisters Ecarna y Toñi Salazar.
The international success of the duo "c" after Eurovision wasn't a prediction of the present time. During the 90s, the Gipsy duo became famous with their songs "Devórame Otra Vez", "Sólo Se Vive Una Vez", among other hits. Even though they did not always have a good relationship as sisters, they had masses of people at their concerts.
In 2006, their candidature for Eurovision was eclipsed by "Las Ketchup". One year later, Encarna was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back: "Azúcar Moreno would withdraw from the music scene until further notice".
Six years later, they got together again in "Tu Cara Me Suena" where they confessed, "all this time we had not spoken to each other". Encarna had made a full recovery in her health, and she had a family drama with one of her nephews, who gave in adoption.
In 2014, they both returned to the music scene with a new album and singles. Their economic bankrupt made them participate in the TV Reality "Supervivientes" in 2019, earning one more debt for not complied to the basic rules. After that, Toñi received complaints of theft, coercion and threats by her ex-husband in 2020.
At present, their latest album entitled "El Secreto" cannot achieve the desired success, despite efforts to keep its essence.
