The Barcelona artist Monkey has been achieving musical successes “since the 90s”, as Nacho García recalled in Special bodies. A career that has allowed him to test in dozens of records and travel the entire world, always with the gift of “a little monkey” for the attic of his house.
This time, the singer has gone through the antimorning show of Europa FM to present The Memory of the Hearthis last single in which he sings about Alzheimer’s and those, like his mother, who suffer from this disease. “It’s a very personal song; it’s a bit embarrassing because it’s based on the relationship with my mother, who we’ve always been like super colleagues.”
In addition, he recalled the situation that both he and his family face having placed his mother in a nursing home, “because of the fact that we no longer take the elderly home and you go into a pretty brutal conflict.”
His mother is none other than Mara Teresa Heras, singer and dubbing actress who, among others, has provided the voice of Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn. Macaco has explained that “even though they are very advanced” she still recognizes them and even a few days ago she played one of her songs and she herself joined the choir singing. “The song talks about those hidden drawers from which something appears,” he indicated in reference to those moments of lucidity.
Macaco has also talked about Let love become fashionablethe song released just a few months ago in which It values good vibes and friendliness. “It’s all very agriao“, he indicated, referring to the fact that simply a friendly waiter “changes the frequency” at a dinner.
Listen to Special Corps from Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Europa FM.
