This is a little tribute to one of my favourites dj's of the Spanish radio: Rafa Abitbol, to whom I was in the habit of listening every day, and that I was lucky to know personally years later.The translate of title of the album is "Dynamite - 40 Better Songs of the Power Pop"
Rafa writes in the booklet:
"The POWER POP was the music that I had to live and that I chose to spread in my first days of Radio. I was lucky. I was in the right place (the breaker FM of Madrid, Spain, ONDA 2), in the perfect moment, with the ideal boss (the unrepeatable Jorge de Antón).
We create a program called "DINAMITA". It was an act of faith.
We were not alone in our particular crusade.
Special mention is deserved to the pioneers' missing programs of the FM as Gonzalo Garrido, Mario Armero or Manolo Fernández.
Among all we wanted to make jump over the airs the conformity and the boredom. We hadn't even idea of how obtaining it. But we leave ourselves to go for the heart and the thing worked.
It was wonderful to verify as those strangers that we were supporting unconditionally convert in artists of worship and they were using as inspiration a new generation of Spanish musicians.
The above mentioned should be small later the maximum protagonists of the Spanish Pop of the 80's.
"DINAMITA" was seven years in antenna. The people say that it broke molds. Maybe. The sure only thing for whom we were doing it day by day is that we were enjoying intensely. From the same way we hope that you enjoy this compilation of milestones of so mythical program.
The majority in those days were considered rare things.
Thanks to God, today they are Classics of Our Time."
This album is dedicated in memory of Jorge of Antón.
I only can put two objections to the album, it should have called "The 40 Better Songs Of The New Wave" and they aren't all those who are, there aren't they all those who are.
