OBK is a Spanish synthpop music duo originally formed by Jordi Sánchez and Miguel Arjona in Barcelona in the late 1980s. Their music has been characterized by a blend of electronic beats with catchy melodious hooks, often delving into themes of love, heartbreak, and human emotions. Influenced by the synthpop sounds of the 1980s, the duo found their breakthrough with the release "Historias de amor" as their hit single, which quickly became a signature song and cemented their place in the Spanish electronic music scene.

Over the years, OBK has evolved, with Jordi Sánchez remaining as the consistent member after Arjona's departure. The duo's name, OBK, is derived from the Danish band Laid Back's song "White Horse," which includes the phrase "Obladi, oblada, life goes on, bra." Since their inception, they have sold over 2 million records, released numerous albums, and undergone stylistic changes while maintaining a dedicated fanbase. They are known for both their studio work and energetic live performances, as evidenced by live albums like "OBK Live in Mexico." Despite the changes in the music industry, OBK has managed to stay relevant, consistently releasing new music, such as "Imprescindibles" and "El Cielo No Entiende 2.21," ensuring their lasting impact on the Iberoamerican electronic and pop music scenes.
