Thousands of Robe Iniesta fans, founder of Extremoduro, gathered on Sunday at Plasencia's Congress Palace for an emotional tribute following his death at 63. Entire families and supporters from across Spain and abroad queued for hours to leave messages and flowers by his ashes. The event featured poem recitals by Manolo Chinato and performances by his band.
A rundown building on Santa Juliana street in Madrid's Tetuán district holds memories of Extremoduro's first album recording in 1989. The band from Extremadura recorded 'Tú en tu casa, nosotros en la hoguera' at Avispa Records' M-20 studios, in an experience fraught with tensions and informal sessions that led to pirate tapes. Following Roberto Iniesta's death on December 10, this site becomes sentimental archaeology of Spanish rock.
