El autor conoció por separado a los distintos componentes del grupo en 1989, el año en que la banda pactó su desaparición tras publicar como despedida un álbum en directo ("Nacha Pop 80-89"). Fernández ha tratado de distanciarse para no escribir "300 paginas de elogios" y da voz a los integrantes del grupo y a varios managers, periodistas y ejecutivos de la industria discografica para que, "con el marcador a cero", desglosen la historia de la banda.En las paginas de Nacha Pop, magia y precision -que toma su titulo de uno de los temas de su tercer album-, se difumina la idea que identifica a Antonio Vega como patron exclusivo del universo sonoro de la banda. Como explica el mentor del grupo, Mario Armero, se refuerza la idea de que Nacha Pop era una perfecta combinacion entre un hombre muy brillante, con mucho talento, como es Antonio, y la persona con absoluta vision y capacidad de gestion que es su primo Nacho.

Metallica es una de las bandas más poderosas, espectaculares y explosivas de todos los tiempos, pero el largo camino desde el anonimato hasta los grandes estadios de todo el mundo ha sido dramático y en ocasiones tremendamente doloroso. Esa es la historia que narra por fin este libro, primer volumen de un relato exhaustivo construido a partir de minuciosas conversaciones con los protagonistas y con todos los individuos que han jugado papeles significativos en torno a ellos. Winwood y Brannigan recorren aqui la primera mitad del trayecto, la epoca que culmina con la aparicion del "Black Album".

Take That were the original British boy band. They sold out arenas in less time than it took to play one of their chart-topping singles. Gary Barlow was the band''s gifted front man who not only wrote hits such as "Pray" and "A Million Love Songs" but sang them too. Then, the band quit at the very height of their fame. Here, Gary reveals for the first time his ride on the rollercoaster of fame, the truth behind the rumours of the band''s feuding and his fall-out with Robbie, and how he sank into depression only to rise again in one of pop''s greatest comebacks: the record-breaking Take That reunion tour. Candid, confident and down-to-earth, Gary is definitely back for good.

Bob Marley is the unchallenged king of reggae and one of music's great iconic figures. Rita Marley was not just his wife and the mother of four of his children but his backing singer and friend, life-long companion and soul mate. They met in Trenchtown when he was 19 and she was 18, and she was very much part of his musical career, selling his early recordings from their house in the days before Island Records signed up the Wailers. She shared the hard times and the dangers - when Bob was wounded in a gunfight before the Peace Concert, Rita was shot in the head and left for dead. Their marriage was not always easy but Rita was the woman Bob returned to no matter where music and other women might take him, the woman who held him when he died at the age of 35. Today she sees herself as the guardian of his legacy. Full of new insights, No Woman No Cry is a unique biography of Marley by someone who understands what it meant to grow up in poverty in Jamaica, to battle racism and prejudice. It is also a moving and inspiring story of a marriage that survived both poverty and then the strains of global celebrity.

Guo Yue nos lo demuestra con una prosa intima y pulida llena de imagenes, texturas y sabores.
