"Do not".
This is how resounding Ana Torroja answers to a
return from Mecano
even if it was punctual, despite the fact that the venues would quickly hang the 'there are no tickets'.
"People keep dreaming of us getting back together, but I think it
is idealized because it ended without a goodbye in a wonderful moment," he
says.
Ana is immersed in her Volver tour, which could alleviate a little that yearning that the public feels.
"Although there are people at concerts who tell us that they have not missed
Nacho and Jose
, I know it is not the same, but it is the closest thing to a Mecano concert," he replied.
Choosing the repertoire is complicated.
"There are some emblematic songs that I always sing and others that I keep leaving, but
it cannot be that people come to see me and have not sung their song

"music is a great therapy,
the best medicine for the soul and, although it costs to start, it allows us to be in the present and not think.
My father loved music, so he will be happy that I continue out there.
I haven't been on stage for a long time and that excites me too. "
At home, as a child, it sounded mostly classical, "a good teaching."
From his father he inherited a love for music.
And now also the
title of Marchioness of Torroja,
granted to his grandfather, the engineer of Roads, Canals and Ports
Eduardo Torroja Miret
.
"They gave it to him for his work.
My father wanted it to be inherited and I will be very proud of it."
When her grandfather passed away, Ana was only one year old.
"I have read a lot about him. He was incredible, he had great sensitivity and creative ability doing civil works. I think that was what most surprised and admired people the most.
He did a lot in this country."
Eduardo Torroja revolutionized the science and technique
that developed reinforced and prestressed concrete in the first half of the 20th century, contributing to the evolution of the construction industry and promoting modern regulations for these structures.

Two pop icons.
"I do not consider myself an icon of anything,
but life has gifted me to be part of the most important pop group in Spain until today. I am very proud of it. An

Today I can't get up.
And more than twenty of Ana alone.
Only five studio albums.

Ana, José María and Nacho Cano, Mecano, in the 80's EM
Ana had to rethink her life.
In 1992, at a press conference and without prior notice,
José María Cano announced that Mecano was ending.
"He made the decision for personal reasons and it was a strange moment that surprised us all, but in the end we understood."
He lived it "with a lot of vertigo. The idea was to rest a year, but they passed ...
I needed to sing and get on stage, it
's something organic. The boys continued with their projects, and I jumped in, with prudence, modesty, shyness. , fear, insecurity, and a lot of respect for Mecano ".
Your voice is your seal.
Like the one the Cano brothers still have.
For example, Nacho.
"That Puerta del Sol alone, without people, and
a song that could not be missed that day
. It was strange. It seemed overwhelming, very emotional, the moment was special and very sad."
About the Medal of the Community of Madrid that Cano 'reimposed' to Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Torroja explains: "Nacho does not think things through. He
is pure heart,
very spontaneous in his actions and in his music, that is his charm".
Like the music of the 80s. "Creativity is freedom and you cannot and should not hinder it. I do not put them on. Now it is well seen to say some things and not others. You adapt, but never restrict yourself".
Ana has lived in Mexico for six years.
"At that time I did not have a job in Spain and
I went on an adventure a bit.
Work began to leave me and I have always liked Mexico. I do miss Spain, but I am lucky to be able to come often," he says.
He remembers the
Corazones
tour
he did with Miguel Bosé.
"It was incredible. It has always been without touching the ground, the same thing suddenly reappears. I am very much into living the present and I make very few plans, not even in the short term."
Bosé and vaccines ... "Everyone who thinks and does what they want. I respect the positions of the people. But I have been vaccinated, because I consider that it is better to do so," he defends.
