Nacho Cano is possibly one of the most remembered names in the music industry in Spain. For the good, but also for the bad. The 60-year-old composer recently came under the scrutiny of Bertín Osborne in ‘Mi casa es la tuya’. The program, which will be broadcast tonight on Telecinco, can give fans of Mecano and Spanish music another opportunity to find out what happened to this man.

Of the little that is known regarding today’s interview, the Mediaset chain dropped a couple of advances in recent days. One of the big questions that will receive an answer tonight is about a possible return of the group that launched him to stardom: Mecano. And it is that Nacho was able to answer several questions regarding the success of the band, such as managing popularity and his relationship with his brother.

It was precisely the differences with José María Cano that ended up breaking up the band in 1998. After the success achieved in the 80s, a conglomerate of bad vibes that also led Ana Torroja to get fed up with the matter, the decision was taken. He, his brother and Ana went their separate ways. And Nacho’s was possibly one of the darkest, with drug use and bad artistic decisions affecting him.

However, his most infamous performance, which hinted at this negative stage of his life, occurred a year before Mecano’s separation. It was during the tribute to Miguel Ángel Blanco, assassinated by ETA in 1997. In a concert held in the Plaza de Toros de las Ventas, Cano appeared out of place, with clear symptoms of having consumed narcotic substances. The cry to remember “Louder, let Michelangelo hear us” continues to resonate in the heads of many to this day.

Despite having dedicated his last efforts to open a bikram yoga studio in Miami, controversy continues to haunt Nacho Cano in the form of two names: Isabel Díaz Ayuso and ‘Malinche’. Her good harmony with the president of the Community of Madrid is well known, even declaring her the savior of the country last January. But his relationship cost him a good deal of controversy at the time of the premiere of his latest musical.

The composer took his interpretation of the romance between the indigenous Malinche and Hernán Cortés to the theater in 2022, but he took a serious blow during the previous months. And it is that originally the work was to be released in a new theater in the shape of a pyramid, built expressly in Hortaleza for the occasion. The agreement with the Madrid city council raised so many suspicions that ‘Malinche’ had to be transferred to IFEMA, where it continues to be performed to this day.
