As is known to all and, died yesterday Antonio Vega.
Keeping an eye on the gué I found exactly the obvious predictable. Many. Of course, I found the usual nerve of senior government bandwagon (funeral), and I read a comment affectionate and intelligent that I understand well: Álvaro , Nacho or curious Nacho Cano. When the Lolita Flores (the article is deliberately contemptuous) has dared to compare the master with his own brother, I felt some nausea, all they had in common really is the heroine. Nothing more. Although they were friends, nothing hit the first, second, no doubt.
is not easy to explain, at this stage of the game, and with as much strain as has been the phenomenon, what was the Movida for whom the distance assumed in the provinces live, we live even in part. I do not mean things more colorful, the stirrings of Almodovar & McNamara's ass, or the then Mayor of Madrid playing to be sixty years younger, or anything more-or-nothing less than music: all those bands, all those records, all those songs. Music with a capital letter, with a marble capital city.
That is exactly the music that makes up the soundtrack of my life. And if I had to choose from all the Best Group, Best of their texts, by their instrumental skill, its direct competition by its composer, would know without any doubt which one to choose. Of course there are many songs Secrets of Mother of Elegant of Pistons, so many others that are very important to me, but I know, as all musicians know, which of them all , in the early eighties there was only one band of this size.
And that band is Nacha Pop, my copy of whose first album (full of jewels and including Chica de Ayer -) if caught by the edges, set a spiral to the ground is removed as many times as I spun. And Nacha had a genius stratospheric adlater supported by a loyal and good people, but not reached his heel (among other things on their penchant for funky cloudy). The genius, the shy genius, was obviously Antonio Vega. If someone is able to compose (a place: are mil) 'A split second' passes away, the History to Legend.
Antonio was a singer whose voice had an amazing color, try to be unfortunate heir of his style, certainly not his brilliance, also was a guitar stunning, a virtuoso with tremendous virtue of drawing beautiful filigree sound without falling into kitsch such as pleasing rococo, for example, the jevis. And what of his texts Antonio once explained years ago that their letters-letters-came his sensational stories he wrote. That way the quintessence of distilled-text otherwise very short-and music has been an inspiration to me, obviously saving distances. Every time someone says: "Like . Has a Nacha Pop air" after hearing a song of mine that I know, I have, I felt so proud.
Of course, at the time, and as I could, I went to Penta. I am little pilgrimages but that, sometime in the late eighties, was essential. And of course, and similarly, the fact that Antonio is gone at last makes it equally imperative that you cry in silence and write this, as corny as it may be.
today do not want to ride the verbiage. It would be disrespectful. Nor will put photos. Everyone memory of how he was Antonio Vega, and how it was in recent times. Seek then, please, a couple of songs or three of the Master (in the network between your CDs, or like me, from vinyl), and listen to them. And tested, so how underlying the importance of a musician. As concreted the foundations of Eternity.
RIP Antonio Vega Sizes, 1957-2009
