Rubén Martín, singer-songwriter and composer of Camela: "They are an anthem of Spain, but their value has not been recognized until it was the only option left"

Rubén Martín discusses his family's influence, his father's health, and his upcoming tribute to the music group Camela.

Rubén Martín, the son of Dioni and nephew of Ángeles, reflects on the impact his familial connections have had on his career, indicating that he strives to achieve success on his own terms. He acknowledges that while his family ties have sometimes opened doors, he does not feel burdened by the weight of his surname.

He also gives an update on his father’s health, revealing that Dioni suffered a serious neck muscle injury that impacted his vocal abilities, leading to the suspension of Camela's tour. Fortunately, Dioni has made a significant recovery and is expected to return to performing soon, with an upcoming concert scheduled for February 27 at Las Ventas.

In addition to his father's health concerns, Martín speaks about his own upcoming tribute to Camela, expressing a desire for the homage to be meaningful and respectful, free from any mockery. This tribute highlights the legacy of Camela, a group he believes is underappreciated as an essential part of Spanish music culture, suggesting that their contributions have often gone unnoticed until now.
