OBK is a Spanish synthpop music group from Barcelona (Spain) composed of Jordi Sánchez and Miguel Arjona. The group was famous for introducing the electronic music in Spain in the 1990s (in the early 1980s some Spanish synthpop bands as Azul y Negro and Aviador Dro, among others, had gained great success also).
Jordi Sanchez and Miguel Arjona met for first time in the Athletism club of Sant Feilu de Llobregat. They were fans of groups like Yazoo, OMD and specially, Depeche Mode. They debuted in the musical scene with Konga Music, an indie record label which supported all kinds of electronic music. In 1991, appeared their first release, a mini album called "Llámalo sueño..." (Call it a dream...). This album is the most successful of their career and sold over 400.000 copies in Spain. In fact, they entered in the history of the Spanish pop music for being the first group that had such sales with a debut album. Four singles were released from the album. The first one was "¿De que me sirve llorar?" (What can I do by crying?), "Oculta realidad" (Hidden truth), "La princesa de mis sueños" (The princess of my dreams), and the most famous hit: "Historias de amor" (Love stories), which is considered the icon song from the group.
Tengo otra vez en mi mente tu voz
No sé encender tu recuerdo sin dolor
Ni te das cuenta que el daño es mayor
Hoy miro a través de mi nueva condición
Dentro de mí no hay tristeza ni rencor
¿Que será de mí si olvida y yo no?
A ver quién no ha perdido el tiempo en el intento
Quién no perdió algo mejor
Solo quiero ver el viento a mi favor
No quiero saber qué perdimos tu y yo
Yo seguiré mi camino y mi ambición
Sacrificando lo que ahora tu no
Quiero romper el silencio con tu voz
Para escapar de un pasado sin valor
¿Quién me iba a decir que no iba a ser yo?
