Los Chicos released five albums -- Para Amar (1980), Puerto Rico (1980), Viva el Amor (1982), Bailando al Ritmo de la Lluvia (1983), and Conexión Caribe (1984) -- in front conclusion their run in 1984. Almost immediately, Chayanne embarked on a solo life history, debuting with

Volver a Nacer (1996),
Atado a Tu Amor (1998),
Simplemente (2000),

Cautivo (2005). Each sold better than its predecessor, for the nearly voice. Greatest-hits compilations such as
Grandes Exitos (2002) and
Desde Siempre (2005) would too be issued from clip to time.
