Luis Miguélez
is a living history of music Spanish.
From Berlin, where he has lived for two decades, he now presents his new project, Frisch.
You, who have worked with all kinds of people, now set up a group with your husband. It is a project of a "family group" to cope with confinement. On many occasions, what I have done with pleasure throughout my life has been what has really pulled me up. But it is also a little relief: My husband is a doctor, he has specialized in intensive care, so we have experienced a different stress. It has also been very good for him to completely disconnect from that world of the living dead: I would take coronavirus deniers to take a tour of the ICU from time to time. But, come on, my friend Juan Tormento tells me: really, you spend your life looking for transvestites for this or that and it turns out that you have had the singer at home for 16 years. How is the pandemic coping? positive person and as an artist I have been above and below, below and above, and I have adapted like rats. On the other hand, there are also other artists who can be blocked and enter a total crisis. And if they also can't go catch the camel ... You started the confinement doing 'streams', but you soon got tired. What do you think of new ways of sharing music? Why am I going to be here struggling to make a song? To give it away on the internet, make a post and have 100 "likes"? It's that my cunt is sweating. I could have less money, but for the moment I'm alive, which is very important. I know where I am and where I don't want to be, which is also important. And I get many offers to do things that I reject. Not long ago, Nils Frahm told me one thing: in crises like these, society dispenses, first of all, with artists The public is very cruel. Because if you entertain him on social networks, and make funny stories or posts, everyone tells you how divine you are, how handsome and everything you want. But you announce that you are selling a record and of your followers there are 10 who buy it from you and the others pat you with comments. Announcing a record on social media is not begging, it is simply selling. It's what many brands do, sell products. But the word "sell" is taboo now. Artists are very stupid and tend to give away. But of course, when there comes a time when you can't perform live either, then what's the use of making music? I am donating all my art for you to have fun. What do you think of success and failure? I am not one of those who commune with Ramoncín, but he says things that have made me very funny. For example, that success is like a mountain pass of I do not know how many categories, but failure and being forgotten is a seven-lane highway. In my case, having started playing at festivals took away my complexes. What has happened to music? That it no longer has the value of yesteryear. A big mistake was made with music, while the cinema has tried to protect itself much better with DVDs and all this stuff. Music is something that is not seen, that is in the air, that people listen to on the radio. So it seems like it's not hard to do. Because only 'influencers' make money online. Whether you are the muscle or whatever. And then absolute chaos comes, we saw it the other day in the United States. What did you think of that? What happened there, with Donald Trump spouting shit through social networks, you are seeing it with any politician, of any ideology. Twitter is a civil war: Everybody gets in the act, there is no respect, there is nothing. And what do the creators have to say? No artist wants to get wet because everyone is about with the dagger and people are very aggressive . Over there we are all falling through the same hole, some fall earlier and others later. And what does that manifest itself in? We have reached a sensitivity in which artists have cut our wings. Remember what Pedro Almodóvar and Fabio McNamara sang: "I am going to be a mother, I am going to have a baby. I will teach her to live by prostitution." Let's see girls, let's talk about rational things. Neither one way nor the other. What would be the middle ground? Years ago reggaeton was a disgusting machismo. And now, long live reggaeton, which is even at Sónar! I love it, I adore it. But it is paradoxical that on the one hand everything has to be politically correct and on the other they are insulting each other all the time. How would you solve it? Would you take away social networks from politicians. It is something that would have to come from politics, because it is what society is facing. The only thing they help us is to get on our nerves. And I don't care about one ideology or another. How have you seen the transformation of your business? The record companies say they are doing badly, but they are doing better than ever. Because all labels and music publishers have a catalog that sells itself. Where does all that money go? Because there is no investment in new talent and the record companies are closed like bunkers, it is a complex world, everything goes very fast, the songs have no life. I am the last to listen to the radio, because I prefer to be surprised. But young people are with their 'stories', their 'reels', their 'tiktoks' ... More attentive to generating content than viewing content. How does it feel to look back? I have enjoyed it a lot, I do not regret it you're welcome. I've been a junkie. But I've gotten off drugs and woke up at the right time. And I think I have succeeded doing what I like. With an album like 'Rockstation', with Fabio, who right off the bat was positioned on something unforeseen and could really have had an incredible continuity. But Fabio threw it away. Then I finished up the pussy and came to Berlin. And this city has really been my happiness. So now what can make me most happy in life is that both Fabio and the singer of Glamor to Kill are alive and divine. Even if you are already 'out', I suppose you have seen everything in Berlin. They called me once. from Folsom Europe, which is a fetish and BDSM festival, to perform in catacombs. I went with my guitar, I prepared a 'heavy-metal' improvisation and I took a friend and put him on the ground sucking my boots and such, a little appropriate with the situation. But it is that on the dance floor it was like people doing 'fist-fucking' and things like that.
