It made me very nostalgic, because talking about someone you have known, who has been with you, who we have made songs, who we have worked together, not only here in Spain but also abroad… And it is someone who does not is there, and then you see it there, you say: ‘God, what a shame’, but how nice that so much of what he did can remain,” he confessed.
Ónega later recalled that Ángela Carrasco has been “the person who was closest to Camilo” in those years, since the mid-1970s, becoming “in flesh and blood” from that precise moment and thanks to Jesus Christ Superstar.
