José Gómez Romero, who on Thursday celebrates his eight decades of existence, is acting in the countries where he has been most applauded.
Marcos Llunas, son of Dyango, accused of exploiting his firstborn
Like José Gómez Romero, maybe he wouldn't have gotten far. But as Dyango (79) he has become one of the great music stars in Latin America. So much so, that his fame has always been much greater on the other side of the Atlantic than in Spain and, more specifically, than in his native Catalonia. Dyango announced in 2015 that he was retiring from the tours, but there they are, about to celebrate his 80th birthday (this Thursday) and still gathering crowds. This Saturday will offer a concert at the Municipal Casino of Viña del Mar, one day after the end of the Song Festival in which the Catalan singer has strengthened his legend.
So, little by little, Dyango is saying goodbye to his dearest audience. Meanwhile, he has become one of the musicians with more voice in Catalan independence. It was actually one of the first. Already in 2013, when a concert was held at the Camp Nou in favor of the "right to decide" of the Catalan people, the singer wanted to give his voice to the cause. The events that have been happening since then (the first 9-N referendum, the 2015 elections, the 1-O, the proclamation of independence, the application of 155) have reinforced its position. "Independence is carried inside. If you scratch it a little, independence comes out of it," he said before he entered the maelstrom of 2017. "Independence, God willing, will come," he proclaimed.
However, on the occasion of the passage of his farewell tour in Madrid, Dyango wanted to clarify his statements made until then. "I don't know what will happen to the future of Catalonia. The illusion was and still is," he explained then. "But it is a matter of pure feeling, nothing more. The artists are the same as the rest of the people and when something matters to you, you get wet. But absolutely nothing happens because of it, I am not going against anyone. I love Spain, because I He has given a lot, but I love Catalonia more . "
On that occasion, he also referred to the disparity of 'affection' between one side and the other of the Atlantic. It is a "pity" that the artist "is not valued so much in one's country, here. There are other places where their singers do not drop or drop them. They idolize them. I have never understood, because if an artist has made you happy, you have to have with him the same recognition he had with you. "
In any case, Dyango has amply demonstrated his resistance to the onslaught of life. In 2008 he suffered a heart attack , from which he recovered satisfactorily after he had an arterial obstruction. In addition, in 2015 he suffered an accident in Los Angeles, where he was going to offer a performance, and broke two ribs .
What Dyango can be sure of is that when he stops singing, the family line will perpetuate the musical tradition. His son Marcos Llunas (born in Madrid in 1971) won the OTI festival in 1995 and participated in the Eurovision festival in 1997. He has also been part of the juries of programs such as 'Operation Triumph' and 'Starfall'. And he has collaborated with Gloria Estefan, Juan Carlos Calderón and Juan Luis Guerra, among others.
Marcos' son, Izan Llunas , also follows the path of stardom. Born in Ibiza in 2004, he participated in the series 'Luis Miguel', where he played the Mexican star in his childhood years. This fact caused many to see similarities between Marcos and Luisito, the father of Luis Miguel who subjected his offspring to a hardness regime on the way to success. Father Izan came up with accusations in a statement to TV Azteca: "I am a Luis Rey in the sense that I want Izan to do well . [...] I think the only good thing about Luis Rey, poor sir, I don't know if it was so bad, it's that it drove your son to start. "
"Music, Cantant and Català", Dyango is described in his Twitter profile, which includes a yellow ribbon. Three aspects that he has actively reconciled, without this having undermined his success in the countries of Spanish-speaking America, where it seems that independence is too far away to contaminate the love songs with a voice of torn effort , his signal of identity.
