Overview
La historia de Manolo Díaz (Oviedo, 1941) es la de la música en español de los últimos sesenta años. Compositor, cantautor, producto r y alto ejecutivo de diversas discográficas, llevó de la mano a Julio Iglesias, nos invitó a venir al sur con Raffaella Carrà y nos descubrió a grandes artistas y grupos, desde Los Bravos hasta Carlos Vives o Juanes.
Ayer tuve un sueño, a medio camino entre las memorias y la crónica del nacimiento, el auge y los vaivenes de la millonaria industria musical, es también una detallada explicación de cómo se crean (de verdad) las estrellas. Acompañando a Manolo Díaz seremos testigos del despertar del pop en una España en blanco y negro, de la movida, de los años dorados de la televisión musical y del florecimiento y reinado de los ritmos latinos en Estados Unidos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The compelling story of the man who lifted Spanish-language music to the top of the charts.
The story of Manolo Díaz (Oviedo, 1941) is the story of Spanish-language music in the past sixty years. A composer, singer-songwriter, producer and music industry executive, Díaz cultivated such talents as Julio Iglesias and Raffaella Carrà and introduced listeners to the likes of Los Bravos, Carlos Vives and Juanes.
Somewhere between a memoir and a chronicle of the birth, rise and subsequent ups and downs of a billion-dollar industry, Yesterday I Had a Dream is also a detailed explanation of how stars are (really) born. Through Manolo Díaz’s life, we witness the emergence of pop music in a Spain still living in black and white, the euphoria of cultural awakening, the golden era of music on TV, and the breathtaking success of Latin rhythms in the US market.
