The group started when Fernando Sánchez and Juan Luis Serrano, (both of
Obús), approached singer Azuzena Dorado after they saw a gig of her band, Huracán, in 1983. They then called guitarist Jero Ramiro (from
Ñu) and recorded a demo for Chapa Discos in 1983 (as "Viuda Negra"). Right before recording their first album they decided to change their name to Santa, as Fernando Sánchez and Juan Luis Serrano left the band and were replaced by Bernardo Ballester and Julio Díaz. This line-up recorded
Reencarnación, their first album released in 1984 After the second LP
No hay piedad para los condenados was released, in 1985, vocalist Azuzena Dorado left the band. Argentine singer Leonor Marchesi (from the band Púrpura) joined Santa to record an album, entitled
Templario, featuring a more melodic/
AOR sound which sold quite poorly. After a show in 1987 the band decided to break up. == Discography ==
