DANI MARTÍN

Dani Martín is a Spanish singer,that was the vocalist of one of the most important musical groups of Spain,ECDL.

Since he was little,he was interested in the music and he participated in some music programs.
Then,in 1994,with his cousin and some friends,they created the group of ECDL.
It was a group that has many influence in Spanish people because their lyrics are created by their own experiences. The most popular good critique about the group is the maturity that they've got during the years that were together and the bad critique,is that there are people that think ECDL was a reply of ''Los Hombres G'' as the vocalist of this group is one of Dani's idols.

They started as teenagers that want to change the opinion of the people,suppose that they were another group that likes the teenagers during some months, and they finished in 2009,with a song that made think to many people and changed their minds.

Here,are the link's of some ECDL's songs.




In 2010,Dani back to the music world,with his first project alone, ''Pequeñito''.
In the cd, Dani told us some of this experiences (''16 añitos'') or express their feelings in the majority of the songs (Mira la vida, Mi lamento).

In 2011 and 2012, he was colaborating in some songs of his friends and in 2013,he back with a new look and with new amazings songs fulls of new lyrics about his experiences,about lessons that we need to make the things better.

He back in Spain with ''Cero'' and in South America with ''Caminar''.






For me, Dani is a singer that changed a lot since he started in the music world but he changed to get better and he did it. I follow him because is a person who is so famous in Spain and in South America, but he's still the same since the beginning,he learns of every experience that he's got and there are few people like Dani.

Here, are the links of ''Que bonita la vida'' and ''Caminar''

 


Questions:

1.-How do you like most Dani, alone or in ECDL?
2.-Do you listen some of his songs? Do you like it?
3.-Tell me something that you know about Dani.
4.-What is the theme of ''Que bonita la vida''?
5.-If you can go to a Dani's concert, will you go?
6.-Why do you think Dani is so love in Spain and in South America?
