Editor's note

Manolo Garcia, from El Último de la Fila to solo work

A Spanish singer-songwriter who moved from a beloved band to a long solo career.

For the band years, try 'Eramos'. From the solo stuff, 'Una Tarde de Sol' holds up.

He co-founded El Último de la Fila in the 1980s, a band that put out records like 'Astronomía Razonable' and 'Nuevo Pequeño Catecismo'. After they ended in 1998, he kept writing songs like 'Una Tarde de Sol' and sometimes waded into social themes, as with the 2013 track 'Som Valentes'. His music has a plainspoken, slightly literary feel, nodding to influences like Dylan and Cohen.

He started with El Último de la Fila in 1984, releasing albums through the '90s. When the band wrapped up, he went solo with 'Arena en los Bolsillos' in 1998 and has kept making records since, up to 'Geometría del Rayo' in 2018.

Manolo García was born in Barcelona in 1955. He co-founded the band El Último de la Fila with Quimi Portet in 1984, and they released albums like 'Astronomía Razonable' in 1987 and 'Nuevo Pequeño Catecismo' in 1991. The band lasted until 1998.

After El Último de la Fila ended, García started a solo career with his 1998 album 'Arena en los Bolsillos'. He followed it with records such as 'Para que no se duerman mis sentidos' in 2002 and 'Geometría del Rayo' in 2018. Songs like 'Por Respirar' and 'Una Tarde de Sol' come from his solo work.

García's music sometimes touches on social or political themes. In 2013, his song 'Som Valentes' was interpreted as supporting Catalan independence, which led to some legal attention. He has cited influences like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
