With a documentary in the making that will show unpublished images of the band in their 43 year career and a forthcoming album of unreleased songs, Hombres G are also preparing to start a new tour in what they define as their “strongest and most powerful moment”.
“What has happened to us has never happened to anyone (…), when we should already be at a time of thinking about retiring or with a quieter life. But (…) we are at our strongest and most powerful moment, reaching bigger stages”, they emphasize in a conversation with EFE.
They boast their 40-year legacy
With more than twenty dates in Spain alone on the ‘Los mejores años de nuestra vida’ tour, Hombres G are also planning large venues in Latin America.
And they boast of having played in mythical places such as Radio City Hall in New York or the Lakers stadium in Los Angeles (USA).
Do they feel like the Spanish Rolling Stones, one might ask them about their fertile longevity.
“Well, yes, because what happens to us is what happens to them, we still have a great time,” they immediately respond.
However, they maintain their friendship, as will be shown in the documentary to be released next year, which they describe as “a definitive history of the group”.
“The coexistence of four friends fundamentally”, who have had a “great time” for more than 40 years.
Unreleased documentary and new album
Currently in the production phase, it will include unpublished images, the result of “searching all over the television stations in Spain, Latin America and also those sent by fans who went to the concerts with their cameras”.
With the premise of producing two new songs for this documentary, Hombres G ended up coming up with twenty songs, twelve of them “incredible”, which will be part of an album that will also be released in 2026.
“We always have the illusion of making an album a little bit better than the previous one, of surpassing ourselves in the songs and in the concerts with a more vibrant show.”
Explains vocalist, bassist and main composer, David Summers, sitting next to his bandmates Dani Mezquita and Rafa Gutiérrez (guitarists) and Javi Molina (drums).
“The dictatorship of the woke”
In 1985, Hombres G released their first homonymous album with hardly any experience, but with great hits such as their first big hit, ‘Venezia’, and also ‘Devuélveme a mi chica’.
The phenomenon remained incombustible for seven years with seven albums.
Their repertoire has become one of the most memorable in Spanish music and has crossed borders.
They were among the first Spanish artists to jump regularly to Latin America.
They recognize that at the age of 20, life gave them “something absolutely incredible” in the form of success and travel around the world.
But it did not allow them to breathe or process what was happening. Hence the hiatus they took in the middle of the boom until their return in 2004.
“We’re not going to talk any other way.”
They point out how happy they are to jump on stage now to sing those same songs, “some of which are older than the audience itself”.
In this time, they have been renewed both in age and gender, after the beginning when they were despised by many men for being a “fan phenomenon”.
“We were accused of being music for fifteen-year-old girls. Indeed, just like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby”.
“All the greats of music in their youth began as a phenomenon for teenagers”, say Hombres G, who have also become the “fathers” of later groups such as El Canto del Loco or Taburete.
Authors, among others, of the verse “I’m going to take revenge on that faggot”, today they defined themselves in a press conference against what they have called “the dictatorship of the ‘woke'” when reviewing their lyrics, past or future.
“We’re not going to talk any other way so that people won’t be offended by the words,” they said, refusing to self-limit themselves by political correctness.
