+ + Las Grecas < < te estoy amando locamente
[1973] [Spain]
For the record, this is probably the best Spanish song ever recorded.
Las Grecas formed in 1973 by sisters Carmela and Edelia (Tina) Muñoz from Valladolid.
They started a mix of pop, rock, flamenco, Arabic and Greek sounds which was then called flamenco rock or gipsy rock. 'Te estoy amando locamente' - 'i am madly in love with you' - was their first single which sold over half a million copies. They were 16 and 19 then.
They had a very short career with only 4 records (the last one released in 1977) because of management problems and the fact that they had never been professional musicians and had this sudden fame in their hands. In 1983 Tina was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and her illness became famous especially after she stabbed her sister trying to kill her. Tina refused any help and after being in jail, she started living out of charity, living in the streets Madrid for a while even until she died in 1995 with 38 years old.
