Eurovision Chanel's reaction after receiving a message from the Kings: "How strong! They told me that I have made history of Spain'"
A week has passed since the Chanelazo and the Spanish are still struggling to recover from what happened in Turin.
The overwhelming performance of "la mami" crushed all those who questioned the quality of the proposal that led to Eurovision.
Although Chanel has already said that she did not act to "cover mouths"
it is inevitable to think of all those, including those, who questioned the artist who gave Spain third place in the final classification.
One of those who never did was Nacho Cano, who signed Chanel to be the protagonist of
Malinche,
the new musical that the musician will premiere on September 15 in Madrid.
"She triumphed at the Benidorm Fest and the next day she was highly criticized and even suffered racist attacks for being Hispanic-Cuban. Malinche fell in love with Hernán Cortés and from that relationship the first mestizo child was born. It was the first Catholic baptism.
Nacho intends to celebrate miscegenation with this musical
. Chanel is also an empowered woman and has succeeded in knowing how to handle criticism and pressure.
She is a Malinche of music,"
Javier Adrados, authorized biographer of Nacho Cano, explains to LOC.
The day that Cano visited the
El Hormiguero
program , he already made clear what he thought of Chanel: "I have been rehearsing with her for a year and three months. There is no one in that contest who is more prepared than Chanel. And Chanel is a success. It is a success that goes further. 500 years ago miscegenation began
and she is a mestiza who defends Spain in Eurovision.
It is a success for our nation and our Culture. And for something as wonderful as the miscegenation that we did. Chanel is a machine on stage and I would also like you to remember what I tell you: 'The day you see Chanel act you will see that what she is best at is
acting'
".
This is also corroborated by Javier Adrados who, at the same time, highlights the "eye" that Cano has to sign people with a lot of potential.
"We think that her strong point is acting.
Nacho signed her because she usually discovers talents: Penelope Cruz, Inma Cuesta...
Above all, also in music. Chanel is the last of them."
Despite the fact that the musical was already born blessed by Chanel, the first details that were known about it caused controversy, especially after the delivery of the Medal for Art and Culture that Díaz Ayuso awarded him.
"With Chanel God has come to see us. And with Nacho. Everyone knows who she is and they know that her projects are a guarantee of success. Nacho thanked Ayuso, a few months later the pyramid was made public [which finally it will not be done] and people already thought it was a political fix.
Nacho has been very successful and has never had any subsidy.
And how happy they have made everyone with Mecano, on the right and on the left, everyone " .
In relation to
Malinche,
Javier assures that Nacho has worked a lot on this project.
"The president of Mexico demanded that Spain apologize but history cannot be interpreted with today's eyes. Lives have been unjustly lost continuously in the conquests. Nacho has done a lot of research and this project has taken him ten years. He wants to have fun with this music,
extolling the two nationalities, the Mexican and the Spanish,
and extolling miscegenation".
