Music Javi Cantero, El Fary's son: "I didn't want to release a record when my father died"
Music Javi Cantero, about his father: "El Fary was a modern man"
As a teenager,
José Luis Cantero
loved to
imitate flamenco singer Rafael Farina
(singer Tamara's grandfather), which is why he was
immediately nicknamed El Fary.
Born in Madrid in 1937, the future star of the song was the fifth in a family of twelve children, so he soon went to work to earn his beans. He
acted
as a
waiter, gardener, and fruit delivery man.
..
Tonight,
Blood Laces
recalls the figure of the artist who
sold millions of cassettes
at gas stations throughout Spain, to which he dedicated the song
Torito Hermoso
. He barely went to school, so he
learned to write during a long and hard military service.
When she graduated, she
worked as a taxi driver for seven years
in which everything happened, but she always remembered
the time Ava Gardner got
on and took her on a spree in Madrid all night.
His tenacity to sing was such that at first
he paid for his own records that he sold personally at El Rastro.
In 1969 he released
Los tres maletillas
, but as happened to countless artists,
José María Íñigo launched him to fame
in
Fantástico
(1980) with the theme
I'm falling in love
.
Although he was fetish and very short (155 cm), he
had so much art and lip that women lined up to be with him.

His three great loves were
Ana Rodríguez,
with whom he had
his son Luisito
; then he lived together for a decade with
Pilar de Miguel
, who gave him to
Adela and Luis
and, finally,
the great love of his life, Concha Olmedillo
, with whom after twenty-three years of courtship he finally gave him the "yes, I want" in 2002. From this relationship
Javi and Raúl
were born
.
The artist's eldest son died in 2019 at age 52, disowned by his family, according to his sister Adela, since
two decades of his life had been spent in prison
. His family was ashamed and
"it is my father's fault that my brother died alone and abandoned," he would
confess to
Elcierredigital.com
exclusively.
For years, the television sets became a large centrifuge where the family's dirty laundry was washed.

El Fary had amassed a considerable fortune
since he was the king of Cañí Spain with imperishable successes such as
Cariburí
,
La mandanga
or
Apatrullando la ciudad
, which became so famous thanks to
Santiago Segura
and his
Torrente
.
He also won the affection of countless families with the series
Menudo es mi padre
(1996-1998).
When his son Javi Cantero told him that he wanted to follow in his footsteps, he supported him without hesitation.
The young man became fashionable with the song
And the more accelerated ...
A
lung cancer
He killed el Fary at 69 years of age in 2007. Recently, Javi commented that when his father went to a place, he "illuminated it."
