Átame
You got it all wrong if you were thinking I was going to write about Almodóvar, Banderas or Abril. I'm writing about the artist who did the poster for Almodóvar's movie 'Átame'. This artist, was not only a painter who participated in Arco and draw comics, but also a great musician.Carlos Berlanga is not the theme of this post though. But the movement he was part of: 'La Movida Madrileña'. Until recently, I've always reckon the 80's as a decade to be forgiven. My memories about that time are full of impossible hairdos with too much hairspray, corduroy trousers and Snoopy t-shirts.
Those ideas have disappeared now, as I have discovered that the Spanish music scene was so impressive. Now, I can't stop listening to groups which, until now, didn't mean much to me. '
After this discover, I don't find any pleasure in listening to Beyoncé anymore, despite her being my favourite diva until now. Now, I've changed my idols and I'd like to become Ana Curra once I grow old.
I guess life is about this. Modifying your references and idols. I feel all excited now about researching more into the 80's culture. Just like when I was 14 and I discovered the Beatles. Back then, I used to record all Luqui's radio programs in lots of cassettes. Fortunately, this time Youtube is on my side!!!
