David Bisbal is still impressed when he sees the video that has already traveled the world in a month. “My heart was full of blood, it was very exciting,” he confessed yesterday, during his visit to Vitoria to present his documentary on the opening day of FesTVal. This story starts on August 4. The entire city takes to the streets to welcome Celedón and uncork his patron saint festivities. More than 55,000 people conquer the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca and, minutes before the Chupinazo sounds, the ‘Ave María’ resounds through the public address system. Immediately afterwards, the crowd sings the song of the artist from Almería while he jumps. EL CORREO captured from above this image that perfectly summarizes what this topic represents, turned into a hymn.
«Friends from Madrid, Andalusia, Asturias sent me the video… They were moved to see it. It had gone viral across the country.” Because if the singer made something clear, it is that the love of his public is what fills him the most. «I will have a hundred decorations, but this reveals the true love of the public. I have known how to capture the affection of the people ». As proof of this, the mass bath that he took yesterday when he arrived at the Virgen Blanca in a meeting with the followers. Everyone wanted a photo with his idol, which he waved from the top of a stage.
“This is my home for me. And seeing so many people in Vitoria chanting my first single -yesterday the ‘Ave María’ sounded again- I see it as a dream come true », she confessed. Because she has never hidden her special affection for the Basque Country. «I love the north, I really enjoy it. It is a place I come to a lot, but I do it in silence to enjoy it more”, he assures, despite the fact that on more than one occasion he has shared images with his followers in the fields of Armentia in Vitoria or riding a bike through the ‘Green Capital’ . “It is always a pleasure to come from Andalusia to the Basque Country because I feel at home here.”
That video is the icing on the cake of the documentary ‘Bisbal’ (October 17, on Movistar +), which he presented yesterday at FesTVal. In the literal sense. “We had the editing closed but we had to reopen it because we were looking for that image, it perfectly reflects what the song implies,” revealed Alexis Morante, director of the documentary.
This 130-minute production offers a journey through the life of that boy from Almería who fantasized about being a famous singer and for whom the casting for ‘Operación Triunfo’ allowed him to make his dream come true. Twenty years of career written with golden letters and a lot of rhythm. «’OT’ changed my life. People fell in love with that show where they saw how we were pursuing our musical dream. It was also where I had the most nerves And then when I sang in front of colleagues I admire”, recalls the artist, who has shone internationally with eight albums and was awarded last year with Universal Music for the quadruple diamond record for selling more than four million records.
His most human face
But the tape also approaches his most human side. «I want it to be a reflection of what the public can feel. I have also had hard moments, of confrontations… I have to go out and sing even though I may have a problem at home. I have endured them because I did not suffer them alone ». Those blows of life that he referred to as “scars” And without a doubt, one of the saddest was when he learned of the death of Eduardo Mena, his friend and personal trainer. «It is the first great loss of my life. He was with me daily. It was the brother I found. It is impossible for me to think that my children will grow up without him,” the artist confessed.
But this documentary is by no means the end point of nothing. And so he made it very clear: «I am 44 years old and now I enjoy my voice more than ever. I can have a long career if I take care of myself.” For now, he invites you to rewind your first steps to excite. “When we saw him mounted we hugged and cried,” he confesses.
