• Memories. "I married in Germany with pajamas under my suit"
  • Paternity claim. Manolo Escobar's daughter: "Everything is a lie. My father would have told us that he had another daughter"

He was the singer of the town. When he lost his car, the whole country started looking for him and as a sign of gratitude he walked around all the stages, showing his chest with Y viva España. Today, Manolo Escobar would have found this impossible with the Puigdemont court fighting.

'Lazos de Sangre' dedicates its program to the artist from El Ejido, who had to travel to Badalona, ​​the birthplace of Jorge Javier Vázquez, to make a living. He worked very hard and became a star thanks to the unconditional support of all his brothers, including Baldomero, father of the popular presenter Ana García Lozano.

But not all it reduced was gold. His kindness led some Catalan friends to convince him to invest in a pants factory that led to his ruin. It is said that in 1980 he had lost 380 million pesetas! After the lies and the betrayal of his partners, Manolo continued singing to pay his debts. One of his brothers even made him a loan that he paid off until a year after his death.

Because of this setback, they seized and auctioned off his mansion in La Moraleja, the land he owned in Mallorca and Segovia, his cars, checking accounts ... Some paintings from his impressive personal collection were even sold, including Sorolla, Tápies or Zuloaga . Many of them were hanging in El porompompero, his magnificent property in Benidorm, the city in which he died on October 24, 2013 at the age of 82. Later he was cremated and his ashes were buried in the garden of the house.

From 1959 to 2013 he was married to the German Anita Marx, with whom he adopted their only daughter, Vanessa, in 1978. They were the perfect family for decades because their love was as authentic as the passion with which they acted on stage and in the cinema, where they formed a wonderful couple with Concha Velasco in several films.

After several health problems, he died of cancer without having been able to meet Miguel Poveda , whom he considered one of the most prodigious voices in music. In 'Lazos de sangre', the flamenco singer praised the figure of the great teacher.

In 2017, an unknown María Eva García Figueras starred in a pseudo-media scandal by claiming that she was the artist's illegitimate daughter. This woman waited for Anita Marx to pass away on January 1 of that year to contribute photos and letters (some of them handwritten) in which her mother attested to the romance she had with the singer of 'How beautiful you are!' or 'Loves'.

The plaintiff presented as strong evidence a strong letter: "I, with a clear head, affirm and swear that before my marriage there was a dating relationship with Manuel García Escobar. Later, my daughter María Eva was born from that previous relationship. My daughter María Eva García Figueras is the natural daughter, by blood, of Manuel García Escobar, the well-known Manolo Escobar. I sign and swear. "

Vanessa was calm. She knew that her father had always been faithful and that many women had photographed themselves with their father in her house in Benidorm, to whom they also wrote. In 2019, the justice confirmed that, after DNA tests carried out on two of Manolo's brothers, the results were negative. Therefore, María Eva was not her biological daughter.
