Joaquín Sabina, born Joaquín Ramón Martínez Sabina on February 12, 1949, in Úbeda, Jaén, Spain, is a celebrated singer-songwriter and poet whose influence in the Spanish-speaking music world is profound and enduring. Famed for his distinctive, raspy voice and his poetic lyrics that weave through themes of love, life, and politics, Sabina is regarded as one of Spain's most prominent musical figures.

His career spans several decades, starting in the 1970s when he left his native Andalusia for Madrid, where he became part of the city's vibrant countercultural movement. Sabina's early work quickly established him as a leading voice in the "nueva canción" and "rock en español" movements. Over the years, he has released a plethora of albums, such as "19 Días y 500 Noches" which remains a benchmark in his discography. As evidenced by his more recent works like "Lo Niego Todo" and its live counterpart "Lo Niego Todo - En Directo," Sabina has not only maintained his critical acclaim but has also continued to evolve as an artist. Known for his incisive wit and mordant social commentary, Sabina's songs often reflect his personal experiences and social issues, resonating deeply with his audience. At 70, marked by the release "Sabina 70," his artistic output remains as relevant and compelling as ever, showcasing his unique ability to capture the complexities of the human condition in song.
