ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this book we've stripped down as we never have before.
David, Dani, Javi, Rafa (Hombres G)
The first authorized biography of the most iconic group of the eighties. David Summers composed Devu lveme a mi chica hours before going out to play at Rock-Ola, when he found out that the girl who had left him was going to be at the concert with her new boyfriend. Nobody believed that they could earn a living with music, not even his father, who told him: I don't see you at sixty singing Sufre mam n. In his tryout for a band, Los Residuos, Javier de Molina destroyed the drums with his blows. It was the first time he had sat in front of one. They signed him without hesitation. That's where it all started. The first rehearsals with Hombres G were done by drumming on his leg because he did not have his own drum kit. At the age of twelve, Daniel Mezquita bought a vinyl by David Bowie; at sixteen he had the balls to sneak into Rock-Ola and play with his school uniform on; and at eighteen he ran away from home at night so he could perform at dawn with the Hombres G in a bar. Rafael Guti rrez had to leave the Pegaso Sports Club because of his rocker hair, his passion for music was greater than his love of soccer. He learned to play guitar with Deep Purple's Made in Japan. He met David and Javi on TVE in 1982 and with him the Hombres G were born. This is the story of four kids with a dream, passionate about music, who started forming a punk group inspired by the Sex Pistols and who, years later, when they triumphed as Hombres G, rejected millionaire contracts to remain faithful to whoever believed in them from the beginning. This is the story of immortal songs and unique experiences with details never told before; of a group that has played on mythical stages in America and Spain and has become a living legend of Spanish pop-rock: Hombres G. HOMBRES G has had a legendary trajectory, with millions of albums sold and more than a thousand concerts including ones that sold out in legendary venues such as Las Ventas in Madrid, the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, the Arena in Mexico City and Monterrey, the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara, the Hollywood Bowl and the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, and the Radio City Music Hall in New York. It is the only Spanish pop-rock group that's lasted almost forty years in the record books. The Hombres G legend is forged through its essence: a repertoire of unforgettable songs that invite good vibes and form part of the soundtrack of the lives of millions of people, an intergenerational audience that continues to fill their concerts and share their philosophy of livinr, energetically getting up in the morning and doing a somersault.
