Hello and welcome to my profile

"Radio Futura was a Spanish rock musical group from the 1980s and 1990s. Reunited in 1979, after a first album (Modern Music, 1980) of a certain scope framed in the so-called Movida Madrileña, and after restructuring their formation, they began a career of success with successive albums during the 1980s (The Law of the Desert / The Law of the Sea, Of a Country in Flames and The Song of Juan Perro). If the first two delved into various influences present in contemporary European music, especially Anglo-Saxon, the group progressively began a path towards Latin roots and musical structures that gave rise to The Song of Juan Perro, one of the founding albums of what later ended up being called Latin rock. The beginning of the nineties brought his last two albums (Veneno en la piel and Tierra para baile), until their dissolution in 1992. Although the initial line-up included Herminio Molero (composer and synthesizers) and Javier Pérez Grueso -Javier Furia- (electronic percussion, voice), they soon both left the group. The components cost from then on the brothers Santiago (voice, guitar) and Luis (bass) Auserón, together with Enrique Sierra (solo guitar). Carlos (Solrac) Velázquez, on drums, would later be replaced. The influence of Radio Futura as precursors of Latin rock and, in general, as one of the most important rock groups in the history of Spanish music, has been felt since its dissolution.2 It was considered the best Spanish group of the decade of the 80s by various radio stations and specialized magazines, and named in 2004 "best Spanish group of the last 25 years" by listeners of Radio Nacional de España (Radio 3) .3 In 2006, through a survey of 156 musicians, Rolling Stone magazine included seven of their songs among the 200 best of Spanish pop-rock, the only group to reach that number. In 2012 the journalist and music critic Jesús Ordovás defined them as "the most important and influential rock group in the recent history of Spanish pop music." 5 On other occasions, Radio Futura has been referred to as the "creative cusp of Movida ".6 The three key members of the group continued their solo careers after this. Santiago Auserón is currently known by the stage name Juan Perro."
