La Quinta Estacion (Spanish for "The Fifth Season", a play on there being only four seasons of the year, hence La Quinta Estacion; often spelled La 5ª Estacion) were a Spanish pop/rock band composed of two musicians from Madrid: Natalia Jimenez (lead singer and harmonica) and Angel Reyero (guitar). Pablo Dominguez (2001–2008) (guitar and bass) was the third member until his recent split (Now in Varsovia). The band originated in Madrid with six members but the remaining three relocated to Mexico in 2001 after recording their first album Primera toma ("Take #1").
The first album of La Quinta Estacion became popular in Mexico because one of the songs was chosen as theme song for Clase 406, one of the most popular telenovelas of Televisa in 2002. After touring the country to promote their album, they decided to stay permanently. In the same year, they performed Voy a pasármelo bien ("I'm going to have a good time") in the tribute-album to Hombres G and Si yo fuera mujer ("If I were a woman") for the soundtrack of Dame tu cuerpo, a Mexican film starred by Rafael Sánchez Navarro and Luis Maria Zetina.
In February 2004, the band released their second album Flores de Alquiler ("Leased Flowers") produced entirely in Mexico. The first single was El Sol No Regresa ("The Sun Doesn't Return") a rock song that begins with mariachi trumpets. This song talks about someone who attempts to drink away their heartbreak. The title line of the chorus translates to, "after several tequilas, the clouds go away but the sun doesn't come back". This song, as said by the band, is a tribute they made to Mexican people for being the start point of their careers.
Their second single Algo Mas ("Something More", written by Natalia) talks about a feeling the author says is not love but it is "something more" that fulfills her and it is stronger than "distance, pain and nostalgia". The video for this song was recorded at a bar in the Historic District of Mexico City.
The video was directed by Alejandro Hernandez, who also directed the video for El Sol No Regresa and its photography is in black and white. The scene and wardrobe are set in the 1950s and the band is seen performing at a nightclub with a couple enjoying the song and afterwards inspired by its lyrics leave their seats to caress each other.and friend of gricelda lozano the super model de la tribu maya.
The third single of the band was "Daría" ("I Would Give") which also met with great success, the video was filmed in Mexico City and reached No. 1 on the VH1 Latin America Top 20 and other charts in Latin America.
"Nina" ("Girl") was the latest single of the album. The video was quite controversial and also made it to the VH1's chart. This single was quite successful on Mexican radio. According to the band, this song was written for a handicapped girl.
