Antonio Vega. Tu voz entre otras mil (2014)

In 1957, during the hard years of the Francoist dictatorship, Antonio Vega was born. Third son of six and gifted with an IQ of 130, he grew up full of personal concerns and an intimate universe interested about science, astronomy and music, eventually these passions led him to study in the Liceo Francés de Madrid, making in 1971 his first music performance at 14 years old. After Franco's death in 1975, the arrival of a new democracy to Spain and to do military service, in 1978 Antonio Vega becomes a founding member of the rock pop music band Nacha Pop, that in 1980 is launched to a mass success with "La Chica de Ayer", written by Vega during the military service and that immediately turns a flagship of La Movida Española (The Madrilenian Scene), a social movement to vindicate not only freedom but creative freedom after four decades of repression. Once Nacha Pop split up in 1988, not before to compose another great hits like "Lucha de Gigantes", "Relojes en la Oscuridad" or "Persiguiendo Sombras", Antonio Vega starts a solo carrier to explore another ways to create his music and express his thoughts in his songs, creating another musical icons as "El Sitio de mi Recreo" or "Océano de Sol". However, his long-time drug addiction since the 80s years, his natural shyness and his own almost borderline personality disorder lead little by little to sunk inside him, hitting rock bottom at early 2000s specially after Marga's death in 2004, his long-time love interest after (forgive the redundancy) Teresa Lloret, his only one wife. Trying to return to his early days of creativity and music, his weakling health turned lethal when in 2009 he died by a cancer diagnosed only a few months before. A death that elevated him to the status of musical myth, capable to complex and powerful lyrics in a close and personal poetry, regarded as one of the best songwriter and musicians in Spain history.
