One day he said: “I’m from the night”?
I wanted to help people, that’s why I wanted to be a doctor.
was it
What if one day I made a mistake and hurt someone? I let it run.
We lost a humanist doctor.
I punched discs in Kactus, in Montcada: if I made a mistake with a disc, nothing happened.
And did it continue to sting?

He is now an entrepreneur.
It’s been 40 years. At Tropical, in Gavà, I set up a stage for live music. Luz de Gasés today the only room in Europe with live music from Thursday to Sunday.
He says it with pride.
Live music is my passion.
And it no longer punctures discs.
I do it every New Year’s Eve in Wad-Ras women’s prison, at the feast of Sant Andreu, at friends’ weddings…
Like a kid
I don’t notice the passage of time.
How do you get it?
Doing the same thing every morning: if the habit is there, there is no effort.
What activity do you practice?
I play ping pong with veterans.
Ping-pong?
NASA says it: after being an astronaut, playing ping-pong is the most complete human activity that exists.
And since when do you play there?
For 22 years, every morning, Pep Palés, Li Qi and Ramon Fonollar have been playing there: that’s why we’ve won the Spanish Veterans Ping-Pong Championship… for eleven years!
The reflexes in form, then.
And the brain muscle, playing chess. Illescas says I’m not doing it wrong.
Did you play there as a child?
No, I was 15 and my mother died: I started working. My sister Rosa Maria Sardà took care of them all. The father died a few years later…
What did you learn from it?
If a child has a roof and a mother, he has everything.
Another brother of his is Xavier Sardà.
From an early age, at the table, on the bunk, Xavier used to give us the voice of Senyor Casamajor, the old man who would later become famous on the radio.
I understand the bunk thing.
We were a humble family, besides Rosa, there were Santi, me, Xavi and Joan.
I haven’t met Santi.
He created the terror passage of Tibidabo.
Always entertaining, you guys…
The best thing is to help people.
You help people have a good time.
I organize charitable musical celebrations in favor of the Father Manel Foundation.
I did know Father Manel.
“Don’t die, you will discover that God does not exist”, I told him in the hospital. we loved each other He helped a lot of people in prisons. And out A good man
Do you continue your work?
In the last 28 years I have collaborated with 2,500 oenagés, organizing twelve thousand concerts, and I will continue to do so.
Bravo.
Now I like that people with mental diversity come to dance on Sunday afternoons, with the help of the Ludàlia Foundation.
You are taking revenge for your two years closed due to the pandemic.
I didn’t want to reopen the party hall until we had the optimal conditions to dance without a mask, so that everyone could enjoy themselves to the fullest.
What did you do in the meantime?
I invented my own herbal tea.
Herbal tea?
Cava Sangria As a child, I watched my grandfather make it, with that name. Today I bottle my own formula, without sugar, with lemon and orange peel, 12 degrees…: “Tisana”. Taste it!
Refreshing, smooth, delicious!
For the whole year. I already sell it to donate the profits to social works.
Saint Baron
One day I’ll wear high heels and they’ll call me s an Fede, ha, ha!
What was your best work?
The couples who have formed at Luz de Gas nights. I know many of them. They come to greet me… some with two children.
In the end it will turn out that it did help people.
I like that people are having fun again, as if the pandemic had not existed. It hasn’t existed for me.
How do you see Barcelona at night?
We club managers are happy… despite the fact that I will always want more live music in Barcelona, ??more concerts, more rooms, more of everything in my city.
And meanwhile…
Let’s live the day and do good.
