Julio Iglesias: Morocco's Music Reflects its Cultural Richness
Friday, May 21 2010 11:34
Rabat - "Moroccan music has its own and special rhythms and tones, which reflects the cultural richness of Morocco and the exuberance of its songs with high emotional load," Spanish pop star Julio Iglesias said.
In an exclusive interview with MAP, Julio Iglesias who will give a concert on May 23 as part of the Festival "Mawazine Rhythms of the World" (May 21-29), said he would like to make a song inspired by Moroccan music.
The Spanish star said he is happy to meet his fans in Morocco, a country he visited several times, without hiding his fascination for Rabat, "a beautiful city with very friendly population and lives music with passion and enthusiasm."
"I am looking forward to an unforgettable evening with the Moroccan public that I really like," he added.
"Sharing the stage with B.B. King, Elton John and other big stars, in an international festival such as Mawazine is a pleasure," he said.
Talking about his music career, Julio Iglesias said that the key to success is hard work, passion for music and perseverance, but also constancy which is very important.
"It's music that keeps me alive. To be on tour for six months a year requires to take care of yourself and to be fit in order to give the best of yourself to your fans," he said
"I do not know if I was influenced, I always tried to be myself, but I certainly admire great stars and learn from them," he said.
"Music is a gift that life has offered to me, and I am very grateful because at 20, I found myself half paralysed because of a car accident, that has changed my life altogether," he recalled.
"Music came into my life as the best therapy to overcome this ordeal, starting to play the guitar and to compose my first songs at the hospital," he added. His first song "La vida sigue igual" was born and awarded at the Festival of Benidorm, in Spain.
Concerning his upcoming works, Julio Iglesias said his next album will be a bit special as it will bring 135 of his best songs on five CDs, and it will be ready for this fall.
Julio Iglesias, who has more than 70 albums, was born September 23, 1943 in Madrid where he studied law.
Talented athlete, he fulfilled his dream by becoming a goalkeeper in Real Madrid. That dream was shattered when a terrible car accident left him half paralysed and unable to walk for almost two years.
During the 80s, the career of Julio reached the summits of fame. In 1983 he won first prize and the single song diamond ever awarded to an artist by the Guinness Book of Records for having sold as many records in different languages, unmatched by any other artist in history.
