The music of Héroes del Silencio has reached, and continues to reach, far beyond Zaragoza or Aragon. Despite the fact that many years have passed since their disbandment, the Zaragoza-born group continues to have a worldwide impact , both in Spain, Latin America, and Europe. One of the European countries where the group is most beloved is Germany, where a clear example is the Union Berlin football team.

During their active years, the Zaragoza-based group formed by Juan Valdivia, Enrique Bunbury, Joaquín Cardiel, and Pedro Andreu traveled to Germany several times, playing in various cities and even recording the live album ” Live in Germany ” in 1993 at the Gin Club Rock in the German town of Koblenz. This led to a sensation in German territory, where they sold nearly half a million records. A truly insane number. 

In this case, the Zaragoza-based group shared an image on social media in which the band’s drummer, Pedro Andreu , appeared wearing a Union Berlin jersey, thanking the German team. The German club responded with an admiring comment: ” You’re welcome, legends.”

This is not an isolated incident, as the connection between the German club and the Zaragoza-based group 
goes back a long way. The Berlin-based team, currently 13th in the Bundesliga, often plays Héroes del Silencio songs during halftime at their stadium. At Unión Berlin’s home ground, the 22,000-seat An der Alten Försterei, one of the Zaragoza-based group’s best-known songs, ” Entre dos tierras“, is often played before or during halftime to entertain and entertain the crowd. This fact continues to demonstrate the impact of Héroes del Silencio.
