History
Joaquín Sabina writes the kind of songs people quote back at each other. His voice is a worn rasp rather than an instrument of beauty, and the point is the words: dense, rhyming, funny and bitter in the same line, full of bars at closing time, losers with dignity, and a Madrid that refuses to go to bed. He came to the capital from Andalusia after years spent in London during the Franco period, playing for other exiles, and the songwriting he brought back mixes Spanish copla and rumba with rock and the French chanson tradition. 19 días y 500 noches is his best known unit of heartbreak, counted out like a prison sentence. Y nos dieron las diez turned one night in a coastal town into a song a whole hall sings from memory. Contigo works the opposite way, refusing romantic cliché by listing everything the singer does not want. He is heard as a poet who also happens to sing, and the singing turns out to be enough.
