The books between the literary and the biographical around musical stars proliferate lately with the intention of extolling the myth at the same time that a complete scenario is composed about the musical career, the motivations and the times lived.
From Sabina, with her book «Even the truth»To Bowie with "Hero", past Patti Smith and her "Devotion", news that are storming the bookstores to the delight of fans.
And on almost all these occasions the titles of the books rescue an old song that, in some way, represents the character or takes us into particular experiences on which he wants to place special emphasis.
In the case of Loquillo, this "En las streets de Madrid" transforms into prose what he already wrote in a well-known little topic on his discography.
And in that translation towards the prosaic, which always allows greater profusion beyond musical metrics, Loquillo leads us through that Madrid full of new trends and freedom in which the youth of the moment explored everything.
With a complete perspective of those who have moved through any alternative space, we are led from the bohemian to social criticism, without forgetting the more personal notion that also provides a subjective view with that point of melancholy of everyone who undertakes a project. vitally committed to the artistic, where lights and shadows are discovered as a necessary food for creativity.
Although on some occasions, Loquillo had made some miscegenation between music and poetry, with verses by Luis Alberto de Cuenca, for example, this journey back to the literary (it is already the sixth book in a considerable series with social and even political ideology of the artist) brings that notion of balance, a new stop for reflection and the exhibition of emblematic memories.
