Book - "Why did you buy me a walkie talkie? I was a single child." By Santi Balmies


We begin 2013 with a book recommendation. "Porque me comprasteis un walkie-talkie si era hijo único", a book by Santi Balmes.  "Why did you buy me a walkie talkie? I was a single child", tells the story of the seventies singer Constancio Obs, also known as Cuchi Cuchi, narrated by his son through the conversations with his psychiatrist Sigmund Floyd and with his friends, a true voyage through the world of popular music and also a tale of manipulation in the world of showbiz and oblivion artists fear to a great extent as their career progresses.
The book is a must-read to all music fans given its assorted references to the world of pop music, written by a man with experience in the field. Santi Balmes is a better known as the front man of the Spanish band Love of Lesbian, a very successful band with marvelous songs of love and despair and celebration of life of which we recommend "Doming Astromantico" and "Alli donde soliamos estar".
This is the second book by this Catalan author now targeted to an adult audience, after having written "Yo mataré monstruos por ti" (I will kill monsters for you"). "Porque me comprasteis un walkie-talkie si era hijo único" was released by the publishing house Principal de los Libros, feaatures illustrations by Ricardo Cavolo and is now available in Spanish book shops and in the assorted major online bookshops.
