The definitive and authorized biography of Mecano

Forty years ago, a teenager named José María Cano asked his brother Nacho and his girlfriend Ana to accompany him to concerts at college dorms and bars in Madrid. There they met Miguel Ángel Arenas, “el Capi,” who suggested Ana be the lead singer and secured a contract with CBS. This is how Mecano was born, never imagining it would become the most important pop phenomenon in Spanish musical history.

But there are still unanswered questions about the group that sold more than twenty-five million records worldwide: how was Mecano formed? Why did they provoke so much animosity in the Madrid music scene? What internal tensions led to their breakup?

This biography traces the group’s history and answers all these questions, showing how, even after their separation, Mecano has continued to be heard on the radio and in the collective memory.
