A Spanish singer-songwriter whose lyrics weave love, loss, and social themes into enduring songs.
For a quick sense of his style, try 'Contigo' or '19 Días y 500 Noches'. They're both good examples of how he turns everyday scenes into something lasting.
Sabina's songs feel like short stories set to music, with a literary touch that sets him apart in Spanish pop. 'Contigo' is a ballad that still gets sung at weddings, and '19 Días y 500 Noches' captures a certain kind of romantic exhaustion. He writes about city life and heartbreak with a poet's eye, drawing from influences like Federico García Lorca.
He moved to Madrid at 18, started performing in the early 1970s, and formed the band Viceversa. After a stroke in 2001, he kept writing and recording, with over 20 studio albums to his name.
