Manuel García Escobar (October 19, 1931 – October 24, 2013), better known as Manolo Escobar, was a Spanish singer of Andalusian copla and of Spanish song. He was also an actor and performed in multiple musicals. Among his successes are "El porompompero" (1962), "Mi carro" (1969), "La minifalda" and "Y viva España".

Biography

Manolo Escobar was the fifth of ten children of Antonio García and María del Carmen Escobar, to whom he dedicated the song "Madrecita Maria del Carmen". His father left the family farm tradition to devote himself to the hospitality and culture. Then he met a retired Republican teacher, who gave him coverage in exchange for teaching all his brothers, including the musical one. Manolo started playing the lute. He played the piano as in its early years.

When he was 14, he emigrated with his brothers to Barcelona, where he worked as an apprentice of various trades. He started in show business between Badalona (Barcelona) and the Barcelona district, Xino district in El Raval, with the Manolo Escobar group and their guitars, which were also his brothers Salvador and Baldomero. With the success of the group, they would add another brother, Juan Gabriel. Other brothers, Juan Gabriel and Maria José, would later write songs for the group.

He died in October 2013, aged 82.[1]
