The story behind

Matar a Castro, according to DoReSol

The song Matar a Castro stands out for its provocative lyrics and its creation context. Part of the debut album by Hombres G, released in 1985, this track was composed by David Summers and emerged following an article in Interviú magazine that addressed the figure of Fidel Castro. The combination of its bold message and fresh sound makes it one of the band's most memorable songs. With a duration of 3:53, the track reflects a mix of irreverence and youth, capturing the essence of an era in which young people sought to express themselves without filters.

The recording process for the album Hombres G was quite intense; it took place at TRAK studios during a snowstorm in Madrid in January 1985. In just nine days, the band managed to mix and record the album, though they had spent a month beforehand preparing to optimize resources, given the limited budget of the record company. Out of a total of twenty-five songs they had been playing in clubs, they selected ten for this album, demonstrating the effort and dedication they put into their debut. This song, in particular, not only represents a moment in Spanish music history but also captures the energy of a youth that dared to challenge norms.
