—The radio, the street, the games, open windows, the sun… especially the fall, I like autumn, when the sun falls a little and the trees of the spur were reflected in the street where we played the handkerchief,To the Cena, to the Lorro, to a number of things, and in the background there was always the radio.I am a miner, the emigrant, Antonio Molina, Juanito Valderrama, the novels, that my mother followed...everything that sounded then.The sound of my childhood are radio and games, and a word, happiness, in capital letters.
"When did you realize that radio was your vocation?"
—In the College of Frailes Father Aguirre, who was very nice, had the idea of setting up a station and asked for volunteers.I offered myself, but said they had to do a test.I did it and they told me that I had a good voice and self -confidence, and that's what it is worth.I started doing programs, we did plays, we wrote texts, we described landscape.Do not forget.Now, if you are still friar you will not be able to do anything.But if one day you leave, you know what you are worth '.Then, I stopped being a friar and started going around the idea, but I was in a register, there was no radio station or anything, the closest was Santiago.And I said, how am I going to work in Santiago de Compostela, if I am nobody?ORntil an opportunity was presented and I took it.
"He says she went to Madrid for a decision made with her heart.
"Yes, I left with a shitty suitcase, but full of dreams.For me all the decisions, almost all crazy, would not have taken them if it were for the head.I have always let the heart act, my heart is surely wrong, but the success is born sometimes.There are trains that say that if you don't take them, you will never be anything.I have let trains pass, some could not take them, others did not want, and yet, when I saw that it was mine I took it.That was dictated to me.The head did not tell me to go to Madrid, he did not tell me to leave the Padrón company to go to Santiago, he did not give me that he will leave the music and choose the radio radio.They are crazy decisions that are only able to take the heart.
"Did you fight a cliché for Gallego?"
"With people, yes.Pucho Boedo gave me a very important hand, I knew me about Santiago, he was with the Tamara and I had interviewed them.One day in Madrid, a friend of mine, Justino Bermúdez, told me about going to a cafeteria where people went from the radio to burn, because I was quite worried.No one knew me in Madrid, I was going for the Gran Vía alone and I was getting used to going for Santiago and that everyone greet me: ‘Goodbye, Pepe '.No one knew me.Then we went to the California cafeteria on Health Street, which no longer exists.ORpon entering, the first one I saw went to Pucho Boedo, and he greeted me: ‘Neno, what fas here Ho? 'And I have come to work at the radio.He told me, 'Wait a moment', and returned with Joaquín Prat.My idol, whom I wanted to know, seem to me...I brought it to me just arrived in Madrid.It was the illusion of my life.He was nice, very close affectionate, and he told me ‘Tonight you will come with Pucho to my early morning program '.We were, he invited me to dinner Pucho, paying him of course, I couldn't there.Joaquin made me an interview that I will always remember.Before we die we always remembered it, that if I had not met Pucho, I would not have known him and I don't know how my life would have changed.I think I would have achieved it the same, because I think things if you fight you, but thanks to Pucho it was all easier.
"Now you are the Joaquín Prats of many.
"No, I think the radio is not fame like TV.I have a difference between TV and radio people, when you make TV people on the street greet you just because you leave on TV.However, now that I don't go on TV, I don't want to leave, people look at you and love you.That is the difference between crazy fame and the popularity of walking around the house, and there is nothing more beautiful than people tell you "thank you Pepe for making us happy '.Do you know how big it is to get through a microphone that people are happy?That's why it's already worth it.
"In addition to the announcer, she triumphed as a singer: how did she start singing?"
—In Padrón they called me 'Pepe Fiestas' because to all the verbenas I was there.I left the convent with a desire for brutal parties, to eat the world.Then I climbed to the boxes of the orchestras.Today with the panorama and the Paris of Noia no longer leave you, but before and I went up to sing.They said, there is a Padrón kid who wants to sing, and sang.So my idea was, if one day I go to Madrid I will record an album, but it has to be something so good that it becomes number one.When I got it, because all the announcers offered to record an album, they brought me songs and I did not like, until one day my brother Fernando, who is a little artist too, and Emilio José, the singer of Soledad, made Neniña.They brought it to me and said ‘this is a shot 'and I took it out without putting my name.Because then I did many things and people hated me a little because I was everywhere, I linked a lot, I did radio, TV, I sang ... and I said, so they don't get with me, I'm not going to put my name.Neniña was released without my name and when the album was already placed we already discovered that it was me.
- In fact he said that his wife lowered the fumes and then learned that his success was not only his, but the result of teamwork.
"She didn't tell me that I didn't believe myself as anyone, she told me" I feel very growing, very sure of yourself. '".And I said: 'Sure of myself I will always be, but grown I don't intend'.I know that what I have have not given it to me, I have fought it, but indeed, what you have you get it thanks to the entire team involved.That's why whenever they give me an award, I name everyone, the team is basic.But now, they never take away my security in myself, the day I take it off, I'm going to shit.
"What would the soundtrack of your life?"
—Primero I am a miner of Antonio Molina, who reminds me of when I played on the street and the radio was heard through the window.Then, the world of Jimmy Fontana, which was the first song that I put on Radio Galicia the day I started, after colors, which is the song that all the brothers sang in the Santiaguiño do Monte.And when you really want.I do not include Neniña because it is part of my life, but it is not a definition.
"Are you going to the verbenas?"
"Yes, I'm always at Meracon's party my friends.The panorama, the Paris, the Dominican combo ....Once I went up to the panorama in cinemas, which is close to Betanzos, but when the panorama was not the whip that is now with that scenario.Now there did not paint anything already.
"He also says that happiness is to have good health and bad memory.We know of your good memory, but how is it going on health after having suffered Covid?
- I am much healthier than before, I am more prepared for what I stay in life than before the pandemic and I feel like a bull.Pandemia has taught me to live better.Complete happiness is never achieved, the best of happiness is not happiness itself, but the way to her by the day you get it completely, that day dreams disappear, everything disappears.
—The benefits of the book, which goes for its third edition, donates them to Cáritas and Aesleme.Why to those entities?
- I say it because I think I have to pay happiness.Happiness has a price, if you are able to know the price that has well, if not, you will be a lifetime thinking that you have to pay it and do not pay it.The opportunity was great, I say how am I going to sell for money all this pile of memories?The best way to pay for life everything that has given me is to donate it to people who need it, it is a way of paying my happiness.Then he goes to Aesleme, who is an association to study the spinal core lesion of a friend of mine, Mariam Cogollo, whom I admire a lot, and to Caritas, which is the greatest entity we have to help people.
