of his career as a musician, record producer, and manager of stars such as Hombres G, Aute, El Canto del Loco, and Miguel Ríos; a book that does not seek to be a mere settling of scores or a collection of anecdotes. From the death of Franco to the present day, Tibu puts a name and a face to the music business in Spain, offering the reader an insider's view of how this business really works. He shows us a whole life, his own, that has revolved around artists, musicians, and all that showbiz that surrounds them, that until very recently was dedicated to the pursuit of money, and that led him to know firsthand the darkness that hides in a cell." -- Translation provided by NLSEl ritmo de la vida

path called life, you come to a crossroads, and you don't know where to go. You may wonder, "Which route can get me where I want to go the fastest? Will I encounter difficulties along the way? What lies ahead?" These are common questions that everyone has asked themselves at some point in life. Having gone through a process similar to this, I can identify with what young people in today's society are facing. Through this book it is my desire to make this journey of The Rhythm of Life much easier, more desirable and even fun. By sharing (my) life experiences, advice and what God says in His Word, I pray that I can plant hope in the hearts of these boys and girls and influence them to live life to the fullest, in 'God's way'." -- Translation provided by NLS
