Prince, Papa Wemba…"and the singer with his musicians risk their lives". One can not avoid to remind local classic song of great Gato Pérez, wonder of Catalan Rumba, “this divine genre, this excellent music, popular music to make people dance”.
Some memorable pieces of this sadly premonitory lyrics result moving paradoxically self-referential "when the musician is sincere and touches fragments of his life".
Those that know nothing of the biography and sad end of this modest Argentinian genius, Barcelona Rumba ideologue, caustic and hedonistic latin rock philosopher, could still check some late 70s and 80s recordings, by their arrangements unworthy of an unrivaled repertoire. It remains also a modest interview biopic, and a wonderful hagiographic book by theatre critic , friend and fan, Marcos Ordoñez, to approach to a “music and words combined for an unprecedented and deep dialogue”.
