The story behind
The song Cerrado por derribo, with its duration of 4:37, is taken from the album 19 días y 500 noches, a work that saw the light of day on September 6, 1999. This work, the twelfth studio album by Joaquín Sabina, became a milestone by selling half a million copies. The production was handled by Alejo Stivel, who was previously part of Tequila, and the editing was done by BMG Music Spain. The album, with a total of 74:18 minutes, was presented the day after its release in a location as unique as the Madrid Railway Museum. The creation of this album was not easy; it required seven months of recording and complex negotiations with the record label, which initially advised against a double album due to its cost and because it was an unusual format in the Spanish market at the time. Finally, an agreement was reached to reduce the format, although the songs that were left out would be released later.
In the recording of Cerrado por derribo, the mixing work was in the hands of Brett Rader, while the production was shared by Enrique Berro García and the aforementioned Alejo Stivel. Joaquín Sabina, born in Úbeda, Jaén, in 1949, is a Spanish singer-songwriter and poet with a consolidated career in Spanish-speaking countries. Throughout his career, he has released fourteen studio albums, four live albums, and three compilations, in addition to collaborating on duets and composing for other artists such as Ana Belén or Miguel Ríos. His literary facet has also borne fruit with the publication of nine books that gather song lyrics and poems. In 2001, a mild cerebral infarction marked a turning point in his life, leading to a recovery period and a subsequent depression that temporarily took him away from the stage. After overcoming this stage, he released Dímelo en la calle in 2002, followed by Alivio de luto in 2005 and Vinagre y rosas in 2009.
