1. A Spanish pop band founded in 1981
2. A Dutch Post-Punk/ New Wave band founded in 1978
(1)The Spanish Mecano began as a Spanish language synth-pop (in Spanish música tecno) band from Madrid, Spain. Brothers Nacho Cano and José María Cano, along with singer Ana Torroja, formed the band in 1981. Mecano’s debut coincided with La Movida Madrileña, a sociocultural movement that occurred in Spain during the 1980’s.
Soon after forming, they achieved wide-spread popularity with their debut single, “Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar”. Nacho Cano branched out into producing other bands, and both he and his brother wrote songs for other pop up-starts. Mecano had another hit in 1986 with “Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte”. In 1991, the band members decided to set out on solo careers.
Prior to their international success in 1986, Mecano had three successful albums in Spain and Europe. However, it was not until the release of their 1986 album, Entre el Cielo y el Suelo that they achieved international success beyond the Spanish-speaking world. One of their most important songs, “Hijo de la Luna”, was covered as an aria by one of Opera’s greatest contemporary singers, Montserrat Caballé. Their follow-up album, Descanso Dominical, produced their biggest single ever, “Mujer Contra Mujer”, which deals with a lesbian relationship, seen through the eyes of a male friend, who only later realizes what is going on. The song was recorded in French, English, and Italian, giving Mecano their first truly global hit.
2. Mecano is a Dutch Punk/New Wave band founded in 1977 by Dirk Polak. Post-Punk from 1978 to mid 80's, a break, but now alive again. Official site: http://www.mecano.ws/
Quedate en Madrid
Mecano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y entre un pulmón y otro pulmón
El corazón y los congojos
Todos en reunión
Con tus orejas en las manos
Voy enseñándole a Van Gogh
Cómo mejora el resultado
Siempre los cariñitos
Me han parecido una mariconez
Y ahora hablo contigo en diminutivo
Con nombres de pastel
Y aunque intente guardar la ropa
Al mismo tiempo que nadar
Me he resignado a ir en pelotas
Mientras dure el mar
Yo que de estas estampas
Me limitaba a hacer colección
Me hago un llavero con el fichero
Con una condición
El día que tengas ojos rojos
Y me estornude la nariz
Vamos hacer lo que podamos
Por cenar perdiz
Quédate en Madrid
The song "Quedate en Madrid" by Mecano is a beautiful ballad that speaks about love, longing, and the pain of being away from the one you love. The opening lines, "Con la nariz entre tus ojos y entre un pulmón y otro pulmón, el corazón y los congojos, todos en reunión," suggest the physical and emotional connection that the singer has with their loved one, with all of their organs in a state of union.
The lyrics go on to describe the singer's desire to share everything with their partner, even their ears, so that they can teach Van Gogh a thing or two about painting. The use of diminutive nicknames for their partner shows a playful and affectionate side of the singer, a contrast to their earlier statement about being uninterested in "cariñitos."
Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses their willingness to let go and take risks in the name of love. They use the metaphor of swimming naked in the ocean to describe their vulnerability and willingness to be exposed. The final line, "Quédate en Madrid," is a plea to the loved one to stay in the city with the singer, as their heart is left wanting and uneasy without them.
Overall, the song beautifully captures the feelings of longing, vulnerability, and love that are universal experiences.

@@aldoma123 precisamente porque eres productor no parece que tengas mucho oído musical (como muchos técnicos de sonido), si no, no estarías haciendo esta pregunta.
Desde el segundo 4 puedo percibir que son dos guitarras sonando a la vez porque a veces se alternan las melodías de un lado al otro. Eso es muy fácil de hacer con dos guitarras.
Voy a escribir los dos primeros compases de la guitarra de la izquierda a ver si así se entiende. Indico el final de cada compás con este símbolo " | "
Guitarra izquierda:
RITMO:

Thirty years ago I had Spanish classes in Germany and the teacher gave us "Hijo de la luna". I then bought the CD, and the most beautiful song "Quedate en Madrid" has always stayed with me since! 🥰 (Although unfortunately I lost all the Spanish skills I had once learned.)
