Homenaje: músicos desaparecidos prematuramente

Many musicians have died prematurely. I'd like to pay tribute to them. Thanks to technology nowadays we're able to see them and listen to them:

Tino Casal, hermano de Luz Casal, víctima de accidente de automóvil:



Nino Bravo, también víctima de accidente, hace muchos años, pero con una voz y un talento asombroso. Con esta canción parecía despedirse:



Antonio Flores, no pudo superar la muerte de su madre, Lola Flores (a la derecha, la letra):



Do you know someone else?

Keith Moon de "The Who" (me gusta su música, (medicine overdose)

Israel "iz" Kamakawiwo'ole (su mejor canción es "what a wonderful world")


Hay muchas artistas quienes murieron joven. Más tienen problemas con las drogas (e¿s parecido en otros paises?), estoy pensando de más que veinte ahora quienes fueron matado por las drogas. Es una lástima que ellos tengan problemas con las drogas.

Israel "iz"? What is "iz"?

Yes, there are a lot of artists who take drugs, it's a pity because their art is lost when they die. However, there are another that have died because of car or plane accidents. They have to travel a lot, so they are quite exposed to accidents.

Se usa mucho tiempo para escriber su nombre

Lo siento si te confudí

We use the word "nickname" for forums: mi nick (o nickname) es irmamar

With names we use "diminutivos", sometimes "diminutivos" make a name shorter and other times make it longer

José - diminutivo: Pepe; otro diminutivo: Pepito
Agustín - diminutivo: Agus, otro diminutivo: Agustinito (this one is not very common, the others they're very common ones)
Dolores - diminutivo: Lola; otro diminutivo: Lolita
Francisco - diminutivo: Paco; otro: Paquito (women called Francisca used to be called "Paquita", not "Paca")

I've looked it up at a dictionary and it says "diminutive"

As Sosía said, it is to make short a name, but sometimes a diminutive makes a name longer

Sí, ¿querrías escuchar una buenísima canción? Escucha a la canción "over the mountain", dentro de la cual Randy "shreds" o "toca la guitarra como un santo"

I didn't know Rany or Randy Rhoads, so I didn't know if he was a man or a woman

@irmamar: I thought so, not everyone has to know all musicians.


@Bob: Gracias por la recomendación. Voy a buscar Over the Mountain.
I knew about Randy Rhoads rather because of Quiet Riot. I saw he also worked for Ozzy Osbourne until I read your post.

Do you say in English that someone plays or sings like a saint? We say tocan o cantan como los ángeles.

Just as in Spanish the correct word is angel not saint.

Despite what Bob will say about it, I think he was rather playing with the name of the band and the lyrics of the song.

Hola Tenemos un modismo en inglés "to shred the guitar". Se lo usa cuando alguien toca la guitarra sumamente bien

Escribé "toca la guitarra como un santo" pero usualmente se dice "play the guitar like a god". Pero esta palabra "Dios" me parece ser plural? Me confunde
