Overview
En el centenario del gran mito de la canción, la primera biografía de María Dolores Pradera nos desvela los infinitos talentos de una estrella planetaria que también despuntó como actriz.
En una narración tan documentada como cautivadora, Aguilar y Cabrerizo nos descubren el desarmante sentido del humor y la tremenda fuerza de voluntad de una mujer que se atrevió a desafiar todos los convencionalismos de su época.
Reputadísima actriz hasta la década de los 60 y popular cantante a partir de la de los 70, María Dolores Pradera tiene un repertorio de más de 1.000 canciones, muchas de ellas conocidísimas tanto en España como en Hispanoamérica, gracias a unas giras en las que superó los 2.000 conciertos a ambos lados del Atlántico.
La biografía se ha escrito con la colaboración de su entorno más cercano: amigos (de Raphael a Serrat, de Bunbury a Quique González), colaboradores y familiares. Especialmente relevante es la participación del hijo de la artista, Fernando Fernán-Gómez, inspirador del proyecto, custodio del archivo de su madre y músico y técnico de sus actuaciones durante más de tres décadas, en las que la acompañó en múltiples giras.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The first biography of María Dolores Pradera, on the centenary of her birth.
A hundred years following the birth of the legendary Spanish singer, the first biography of María Dolores Pradera reveals the range of talent of an international star who also made her mark as an actress.
In an account as well-documented as it is captivating, Aguilar and Cabrerizo showcase the disarming sense of humor and tremendous force of will of a woman who dared to challenge the conventions of her time.
A beloved actress through the 1960s and a popular singer from the ‘70s on, María Dolores Pradera built a repertoire of at least 1000 songs, many of them as well known in Latin America as they are in Spain thanks to the thousands of concerts she gave on both sides of the Atlantic.
For this biography, the authors interviewed Pradera’s inner circle of friends (from Raphael to Serrat, from Bunbury to Quique González), colleagues and family. Most notable is the participation of her son, Fernando Fernán-Gómez, a main backer of the project. In addition to being the custodian of his mother’s vast archive, he supported her as a musician and technician for more than three decades and joined her on many of her tours.
