During the conversation, David discusses the real reason behind El Canto del Loco's breakup, how the band gradually lost its essence over time, and the exact moment he realized everything had fallen apart. But this episode goes far beyond music. David also shares a very personal part of his life: the visual impairment he lived with since childhood. A story of insecurities, overcoming challenges, and how music ultimately became his refuge and salvation. An intimate conversation about success, pressure, vulnerability, and the price of staying true to yourself. 00:00 David Otero and the end of a historic Spanish band 01:30 What other profession would David Otero have pursued? 04:11 The origins of his passion for music 15:20 How David Otero recorded his first songs 22:05 The happiest moment of David Otero's life 28:04 How he instilled a passion for music in his children 30:35 David Otero's wound with music 32:20 The best and worst of El Canto del Loco 35:55 ​​David Otero's relationship with fame 38:40 Why El Canto del Loco broke up 47:11 Nostalgia in music is unfair 53:00 How a hit song is born 54:43 Losing success or losing desire 01:00:25 How music affects us psychologically 01:03:40 David Otero's vision impairment and how music helped him helped 01:11:24 The best instrument for learning music 01:17:20 The song that David Otero would leave as his legacy If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and let me know in the comments which guests you'd like to see on the podcast!
