Alan Malnique was born in Mexico City in 1955. He formed the band Astros in the early 1980s with Alejandro Marcovich, Armando Manzanero, and Fernando Riba. Their sound mixed pop, rock, and bolero.
In 1985, Astros released the single "Astros," which became their breakthrough. The song's melody and Malnique's vocals helped the band gain attention in Mexico and abroad. They toured in Latin America and the United States.
Malnique's writing often touched on love and loss. The band faced some challenges later on, but that early period with "Astros" remains what most listeners remember.
