The reasons for the choice of Constantino López: "Based on being a alhameño sensitized with music as an expression of a people, it and all who resemble him, which provides continuous learning and growth that we not fall into oblivion, to which we are recognized. in long run as instrumentalist and producer here and beyond our borders. by his music know.
Antonia Sevilla, a member of the Cocotazo and in charge of the presentation, has thus described his figure:
"Constantine was born in 1976, son of Constantine and Celia. He's a guy with wonder with the world of computers. Student and athlete dreams of the day to buy a computer. Everything is planned, has worked to get the money, you know the particular day is going to go for it, (the day of his birthday), everything is built in his mind, but the night before his dream, something happens, a change is not known very well what but there in your mind. the next day is the day dreamed many times, but what goes under the arm is not a computer, but a Spanish guitar color of the wine.
At that moment he begins to be molded in the world of music.
While learning music theory, Rafa Medina gives guitar lessons and cassettes swipes his father.
The Costan continues his academic training of teachers in musical technique.
He combines his studies with garage groups, including "District 21", who was himself playing rock, hard rock or whatever to make him ahead.
But they were very bad, although the University was already with the formation of "Yaiza" which was not so squeaky ears.
In their eagerness to experiment and further explore the world of music, it moves away from the most commercial and delves into more traditional, more rooted to the earth, harder, sounds that make you remove your sensitivity to express themselves through the music the folk.
In the movement of the three cultures and focuses on medieval music with roots, popular, expression of what the people.
For it is an Arab lute and besides guitar and lute plays the Irish bouzouki, mandola, bass, etc.
About to go to work in a Catholic school, he crossed his way to do a tour with one of the most representative groups of folk music, the Valencians "L'Ham de Foc".
In this situation there was no internal debate: bye school, hello tour.
With them he toured Europe and China.
Then he played in several murcianos groups and others.
With them he toured Spain and Latin America.
Among the groups that are touched Manuel Luna, Malvariche, Taray, Chambao and many more, some known others less so, but of which he learned to keep growing.
Curious, self-taught and always eager to learn, he went a step further, casette recorder to record four tracks bought their own work.
The thing was how the instruments sounded in different parts of the house, record voice or later play several instruments to make the mixtures.
One day, playing with a group that would burn, they proposed that the Costan dirigiese recording, because they knew he had knowledge and had broached the subject of production.
This experience gave another twist to his professional life.
His work as a producer is a leader in the Murcian and Mediterranean music is a before and after in folk music.
It has changed the concepts and has given an identity to the traditional and popular music.
It is extremely perfectionist, organizational, hardworking, constant and endowed with great sensitivity that makes it a great performer in the study and an exceptional instrumentalist.
Today still playing, he teaches guitar and has its own production studio, "Spring in the Atlas," in which he is ultimately responsible for the disc itself.
That is the job of a producer.
Responsible for the latest work of Juan Jose Robles, "Women with roots", which will now hear and the project at hand a commemorative cd Gang Fuente Alamo.
Reserved and a little shy, the sport no longer wears it, although it has tried swimming.
But nothing, still wearing it, nothing happens.
In return, a language of the people as is the music makes him a alhameño winks and he is seduced, to see if it's for life. "
Antonia has ended with a reminder to José Calero "it is no longer with us and was also a harbinger of the holidays."
