30 years of concert giving rise to "La Movida" Today February 9, marks 30 years of the tribute concert "Canito." Whether to set a date of birth of the "Movida" as a musical movement that is the time, February 9, 1980. O no, not everyone agrees, but it is clear that this was one of the highlights.
Canito died on December 31, 1979 when a car invaded the shoulder of the road from A Coruña. Just over a month later, on February 9, 1980, was held at the Technical Engineering School of Civil Engineering and Ports of the Polytechnic University de Madrid un concierto de homenaje al que acudieron algunos grupos que empezaban a sonar por el Madrid de aquel entonces. Alaska y los Pegamoides, Los Bólidos, Mario Tenia y los Solitarios, Mamá, Mermelada, Nacha Pop, Paraíso, Trastos y, por supuesto, el resto de componentes de Tos que cambiaron el nombre por el de “Los Secretos”. Todo ello retransmitido por el segundo canal de RTVE dentro de un espacio llamado “Popgrama”.
Eduardo Torroja, director de la Escuela de Caminos en aquellos años y padre de Ana Torroja, permitía organizar decenas de conciertos por curso académico. Esto convertía a la Escuela en la base de la primera Movida, la "New Wave" leaping from the British Isles. From there to what happened next in the most famous concert halls in Madrid there was only one step.
But this was not a sudden movement that arose from that fateful day he died Canito. In 1973 the School of Civil created a cultural association that gradually grew and creating film activities, literary, musical, etc. The tribute to Canito was more of that long career paths Cultural Association.
José Vegas organized acts of the Association and learned of the death while talking to Enrique Canito Urquijo street of La Palma, where the minds of two heterosexual men fall in love, and talked to organize the tribute.
No tickets were sold, the "malasañeros" of the "new wave" were not the usual age rock acts of the school, so he made a most intimate act with the presence of radio and television. From there, the school became a stage for all groups of Movida.

Rafael Gordillo is the new president of Betis. What happened to Ecija? Just wish the Betis fans to behave with a little more decency, that when he came to Huesca, on behalf of Ecija, and better than its performance in the second leg in Ecija. Maybe it knows not to lose.
