Pau Riba "I carry carpetovetonic machismo in my genes"
The 73-year-old singer-songwriter Pau Riba has announced on his social networks that he suffers from pancreatic cancer and that
the tumor cannot be removed.
The artist explains that after six months of intense discomfort and after an
erroneous diagnosis of psychosomatic pain
by his family
doctor
, in October he was finally hospitalized with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Riba, born in Palma de Mallorca in 1948 but has spent a
good part of his long career in Catalonia
, assures that the tumor cannot be removed because, as it is, it is too late.
He has started chemotherapy and, thanks to the help of many friends, he says, he has managed to start a hyperthermia treatment "and some shots of vitamin C in high doses" at the Institut Khuab in Barcelona that have them "very hopeful".
"What I liked the most was that they cured me with sound frequencies, but now it is not possible," says the singer, who comments that, no matter how much he eats and follows "scrupulous dietary guidelines," he
loses a couple of kilos every week
.
"Even so and everything
is being much more bearable
and possible thanks to the aid received so far," underlines Riba, thanking his friends for the support they are giving him "to make
this stop being extreme darkness
.
"
Transgressor and iconoclast,
Pau Riba is a
benchmark of alternative culture
.
He began his career in the 60s and is one of the most recognized voices in Catalan music, with
thirty albums
, although he has also published
fifteen books
, including some poetry
books
.
His album
Dioptria,
published in 1970, was considered
the best album in Catalan of the 20th century
by the music magazine
Enderrock
.
Riba has five children and currently lives in Tiana, in the Maresme region of Barcelona.
