The project also includes a new song of the same name, released on April 30, as well as a tour titled Los Mejores Años de Nuestra Vida, which kicks off this spring in Spain and will reach Latin America in October.

Included this year on Billboard ’s list of the 50 Best Latin Rock Bands of All Time , Hombres G was formed in Madrid in 1982 and quickly got young people jumping on both sides of the Atlantic with catchy tunes like “Devuélveme a Mi Chica,” “Marta Tiene un Marcapasos,” “Venezia” and “El Ataque de las Chicas Cocodrilo.”

The group’s fresh, carefree style not only set trends but became a standard of Spanish pop-rock, with upbeat guitar-driven rhythms, humorous lyrics and David Summers’ unmistakable voice. Four decades later, its original lineup remains intact — Summers (vocals and bass), Rafa Gutiérrez (guitar), Dani Mezquita (guitar and keyboards) and Javi Molina (drums) — as they continue to tour extensively.
