Ollei misiles con radar (I looked at missiles with radar)

Lyrics: Manuel María (from the book “Aldraxe contra a xistra”, 1973)

MusicFran Amil

The timeliness of this poem by Manuel María is threateningly current. In today’s politics the word is still limited, and too much radioactive waste, and threats of atomic wars coming from the shadows of the past to haunt the lives of ordinary people again.

We would rather look at mornings with sunshine and faces of joy. And enjoy the voice of Manuel María, who accompanies us on this issue. With him, the word reaches unsuspected limits. Hopefully the language of music fills our days and frees up the concerns that four crazy people want to impose.

Manuel María and his partner Saleta Goy

Fran Amil: lead vocals and drums

Manuel María: recitation

Paco Cerdeira: electric guitar

Álex Bardanca: bass

Aarón Bouzón: EWI 4000 and keyboards

Remember that you can read the lyrics while you listen to the song.
