Joaquín Ramón Martínez Sabina ( Úbeda, Spain, February 12 1949known artistically as Joaquín Sabina, is a singer songwriter and poet In spite of the now obvious first-class songwriting it was a complete commercial failure. His next two albums, Al caer el sol (1984) and Gran Vía (1988), were as well unnoticed.
