Legend has it that a certain Julio I., of Galician descent, would be the unrecognized father of at least 10% of the current adult population of Spain.
This statistic, which has never been officially confirmed by the CIS and which some will call crazy, is nevertheless credible, since no one has had more lovers in the world than our Julio, one of the greatest gallants the world has known after his death. scored by Giacomo Casanova.
In the same sense, there is
another apocryphal statistic, but also compelling, which ensures that a high percentage of current peninsular millennials were
conceived while listening to a disc d
e
Sergio Dalma
or, failing that
, after hours of a concert yours.
The Catalan singer, Sabadell's favorite son, epitome of the
Mediterranean
crooner
and romantic balladeer, has been an
effective breaker of the hearts of others
throughout his life
.
When Dalma, which is an acronym for Maldà, the town where his father was born, remembers his beginnings in the world of music, he always refers to how hard it was to perform before a mixed audience in which the
girls stared at him gawking,
falling under the spell of her somewhat hoarse voice and her honeyed phrases to the sound of pheromone-activating songs such as
Bailar pasados
, and where the boyfriends of those girls
gave her looks of hatred.
He explains that, on stage, he has received everything: from flowers and women's underwear, to bottles and stones.
Since her first album,
Esa chica es mía
(1989), but especially since the second,
Sintiendonos la piel
(1991) and her performance in Eurovision, which was quite worthy, Dalma has been
the soundtrack of Spanish love
before it was they would like to change the uses and customs from a Ministry.
We are talking about a flawless fertilizer, a more reliable matchmaker than Tinder.
Despite the fact that the legend attributes so much alien sexual electricity to him, Sergi Capdevila his real name, born in Sabadell in 1964, has never wanted to be
ostentatious in the display of his public or private life.
He has always carried his status as a romantic hero with
modesty and discretion,
and his intimacies have almost always been kept safe.
In 2019 he presented a new compilation,
30 y tanto
(Sony Music), which brought together his greatest hits from
three decades of career,
his own songs, especially composed for him and classics of the Italian ballad, and despite the fame, the seductive charm that He still gives
off his current 56 years
and the amatory mythology that weighs on his figure, as if instead of cells what shaped him were Ovid's verses, he wanted to talk mainly about music and anecdotes.
Sergio Dalma has always
been repelled by gossip,
he has not drenched himself in politics or matters of public interest;
"I am a singer", he comes to say, and it is thanks to that discretion that he has maintained a long career
without winning enemies
and many buyers.
Adding up the total of his albums sold, it would be close to five million.
The rare thing in music today is to stay.
Reaching three decades of success and an uninterrupted career, without ups and downs, is difficult.
Sergio Dalma has done it because he appeals to a little bit of everyone: among the many masks that he dons when he performs songs, he
can be a confessor or a runaway lover,
a friend or a former affectionate, he even has that fragile and defeated profile
of the guy who has lost everything,
but still retains a half smile and elegance.
Surely all of those facets are molded into your own excellence.
He has never denied that he has been a flirt,
especially when he has been without a partner, although the
loves of his life
have been more important
than his adventures as an available bachelor.
His first important partner was
the model Maribel Sanz,
whom he married in a civil and secret way in 1994, just when Sergio Dalma was surfing the crest of his first fame.
A year later they had
their only son,
Sergi.
The relationship stagnated just after their second wedding, in 1997, when they decided to marry in the church, and divorced in 1998. The reason has never been clear, some theories point to his infidelity, and since then Sergio Dalma
has not returned to get married.
He had two more stable partners: Carmen Recio, who was his representative and later his formal partner for almost a decade, and later María Aguiñica, his lawyer.
Since then he has not met a new girlfriend, and
his life has been work,
intermittent coexistence with his son and a discreet and epicurean life.
Sergio Dalma likes the sea, the small pleasures of worldly hedonism, eating, listening to music, and he has divided his time between his professional commitments in Barcelona, his house in Madrid and
his farmhouse in Ampurdán,
where he has taken refuge in recent years. and where, it is understood, has passed the confinements and perimeter closures in Catalonia.
The pandemic frustrated his plans to go on tour
and celebrate his 30-year career, and it is a pending account he has with his audience, which, according to his account, has been renewed: they are the daughters of his former fans and who were surely
sired while a record of his sounded
those who come with their mother to their concerts.
Perhaps, hopefully, he has not lost his mojo, and from a future tour there will be a
baby boom
in Spain again, very necessary according to the worrying official data on current birth rates.
