Mecano

Forty years ago, a teenager named José María Cano asked his brother, Nacho, and his girlfriend, Ana, to accompany him at his concerts as a singer-songwriter in Madrid colleges and bars. In that environment they met the music producer Miguel Ángel Arenas, "Capi", who recommended that the main voice be Ana's and got them a contract with CBS. This is how Mecano was born, without imagining that it would become the most important pop phenomenon in our history. But there are still many unanswered questions about the group that has sold more than twenty-five million records worldwide. How was Mecano built? Why did they provoke such fierce animosity in the groups of the Madrid movement? What caused the tensions between the band members that led them to disband? This biography is the answer to all the questions, a journey through the history of the group that, despite its disappearance, has not stopped playing on any of the radio stations.
