history

May 1983 marked the album Canciones profanas and the first tour as Dinarama + Alaska. Bernavente dies in a traffic accident that same year. The two singles Crisis and Perlas ensangrentadas appear at the same time. They are still considered to be outstanding among fans, but were unable to reproduce Bailando's commercial success, despite being well received . The focus is on the countless concerts. The following single Deja de bailar picks up musical elements from Bailando .

Berlanga's return from military service also brings with it new material that everyone involved is enthusiastic about. The group records a new version of Rey del Glam in collaboration with singers Loquillo and Jaime Urrutia . The single becomes a commercial success and sells about 40,000 times in Spain. With their label Hispavox they earn a certain amount of trust for future projects.

Cómo pudiste hacerme esto a mí , the first single from the album Deseo carnal , will be released in September, which was another best seller until the beginning of 1985. 1.5 million copies are sold worldwide. Meanwhile, Alaska plays a role in the Spanish cult TV production La bola de Cristal . The new single Ni tú ni nadie reproduces corresponding successes.

A large-scale tour of over 100 performances is planned for the summer of the year, mainly in Spain, but also abroad. Un hombre de verdad appears for the tour on the B-side of which a collaboration with Latinos Unidos is manifested. In the winter, a tour of America followed and the composition of the works La Bola de Cristal : Abracadabra , Esclava del mal and No se ría , the latter was published in 1986.
