Buenos Aires, (EFE).- Almost a decade ago the Spanish singer Dyango announced that he was retiring from the stage. But the health problem for which he did it vanished: today, at the age of 83, and with his son Marcos and his young grandson Axel, he is embarking on a tour of Latin America to once again touch the hearts of a passionate audience, this time as a family. who, far from forgetting him, idolizes him.
“I withdrew because I had a bad back. I haven’t withdrawn from music, which I love with all my heart, but from huge trips here and there. Until a doctor said, ‘come here’, and he cured me. And I had said goodbye to everyone. And then I had to say… ‘lie!’, how do I tell them now that I haven’t left yet, that I’m leaving in several years?”, says the interpreter, one of the most emblematic of romantic music in Spanish from the last decades, in a chat with EFE in Buenos Aires.
Next to him, laughing, Marcos Llunas reveals: “Someone has made me that joke and told me… ‘your dad has been retiring for a long time now'”.
“Let the three of us enjoy it”
Dyango’s son is the promoter of “3 generations, one heart”, the mini-tour with which he has convinced the patriarch to continue putting aside the idea of retirement and cross -once again- the ocean to live an experience that neither they nor Axel , 14 years old and Marcos’ youngest son, will never forget.
“I think it was something very nice for the people who have followed my dad and also me, and at this moment also Axel, to see us live once, that the three of us would enjoy it, that we would remember it for the rest of our lives. ”, highlights Llunas (Madrid, 1971).
They began in Paraguay on May 12, did two concerts in Chile -where they will return next week to finish the tour- and, once in Argentina, they performed in Córdoba on Saturday and this Wednesday they will do so at the Luna Park stadium in Buenos Aires, before to go to Lima, where they will be on the 26th.
Dyango (Barcelona, 1940), with around 60 years of experience and four children in total -among them Jordi, another singer- gratefully acknowledges that in America he has been loved “too much” and highlights Argentina, the first country that gave him a gold record and whose tangos he has sung so much: “I arrived in 1968. And I have only failed coming here because of the pandemic, nothing more”, he points out.
For now, the tour, where the three sing songs together and separately, will not have any more dates. Dyango, whose real name is José Gómez Romero, no longer feels like going on long tours, and Axel – who, along with his 17-year-old brother Izan, became very popular by participating in the Netflix series about singer Luis Miguel – will have to return to school.
“Being with my grandfather is not easy, it is not a small feat, as he says, because being such a great artist… Well, people love him and he has a lot of experience, and when I do something wrong, he is always behind me saying anything”, says Axel sympathetically.
“Let’s see who has a teacher like that,” his father tells him, referring to Dyango.
Until now, Axel had never seen a concert by his grandfather: “And now I’ve seen him sing and I already see how great he is,” he adds with his still childish voice and without hesitating to launch himself in the middle of an interview to sing with his emblematic father and grandfather. Dyango songs like “Por volverte a ver” and “Corazón mágico”.
The “tenderness” of music
About how it feels to see them sing, the grandfather is blunt: “A kind of tremendous tenderness. The father, how does he make an effort to keep him (Axel) going, and the other singing what he can sing, because a 14-year-old boy is difficult, right?
“But he’s going to do better than you over time,” launches Marcos.
“I hope God hears it,” the father replies.
2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Llunas’ recording debut, which was followed by several more works and hits such as the catchy “Reina de las diosas”, without forgetting her time as a jury in television contests and as a participant in important festivals.
“I won the OTI (in 1995), I was sixth in Eurovision (1997), my father won Benidorm (1976) and came second in the OTI (1980),” he recalls.
His son Izan seeks to make his musical path after the enormous exposure that it meant to embody Luis Miguel as a child. And Axel points no less strongly: “He has a couple of balls to go on stage, whether his grandfather or his father is there or not, he goes out, sings and they get blood sausage”, Dyango sentences.
