The story of contemporary Spanish music cannot be told without mentioning Ramoncín. Since bursting onto the scene in the 1970s at just 22 years old, determined to take on the world, the Madrid-born artist has created some of the most iconic anthems in the history of Spanish rock, including Hormigón Mujeres y alcohol, Como un susurro, La chica de la puerta 16, Miedo a soñar, Marica de terciopelo, Estamos desesperados, and Ángel de cuero.
With a lifetime of experience in music, culture, and life itself, Ramoncín joins Santiago Herrero, Director of Cultural and Scientific Relations at AECID, to reflect on what it means to remain rebellious and transgressive at the age of 70.
Event in Spanish.
