Dress Iniesta is dead. And this happens so unexpectedly that today it is difficult to find a text about it. Just before four in the morning, director The extremeño musician sent a text to this reporter: “Our Dress has passed away. We are broken.” However, the causes of death are not known. He was 63 years old. A year ago, the singer suspended his last concerts in Madrid indefinitely after being diagnosed with “pulmonary thromboembolism”.
Iniesta’s transcendence in Spanish music is gigantic. An unprecedented case: someone who came from raw rock and conquered terrain to become a classic respected throughout the world. His lyrics, initially of marginal exaltation in the first stage with Extremoduro and despite a deep philosophical charge, are among the best of Spanish rock.
“Today we dismiss the last great philosopher, the last great contemporary humanist and scholar in the Spanish language, and the singer whose melodies have managed to shake generations and generations,” explains the writings of his representative. Since first thing this morning we’ve been catching up on the messages and spending time with the extremeño musician.
A few months ago, Robe was still wearing a “milk bag” due to the suspension of concerts in Madrid due to pulmonary thrombosis. In his head, he was trying to return to recitals to close out what he called “the best turning point of my life.”
“Today we send away the maestro of maestros. And that, it is unanimous, all those who had the success of working with Robe, after that, recognize themselves as a much better professional and a much better personality. Very sad for this prompt farewell, but just as grateful, even more powerful, to have received a treasure in the form of inheritance to follow the path that falls to us in life”, we read in the statement from Dromedario Records announcing his death.
The success of Extremoduro has returned to the music industry. It is a phenomenon that broke out in the streets, from concerts and with the encouragement of the people, who considered Iniesta as the singer of the marginalized. “Transgressive rock”, as defined by the group itself.
