What emotions do you feel about this very special 40th anniversary tour?
Undoubtedly, the run stands as the pinnacle of their touring history. They celebrate four decades of living through music at its finest, a journey built on shared moments and unforgettable performances. Emotions run the gamut—from awe to gratitude—as they sing and share timeless songs with audiences that span generations. Every night is a memory made with beautiful people, including many young fans who are discovering these songs anew. The band members express deep gratitude for every moment, every venue, and every voice that has become part of this milestone, acknowledging what they have, what they have experienced, and what the future holds.
The music industry isn’t ready to celebrate much. What is urgently needed for music professionals in this country?
Music remains the most vital form of cultural expression, and public support should reflect that reality. What’s needed is greater investment in nurturing young talents, securing venues that can host concerts with excellence, and preserving heritage in cinema and theatre as well. Practically, creating pathways for beginners, providing access to quality stages, and advocating for sustained cultural funding would help the scene thrive now and in the years ahead.
Is life in Spain better today than it was 40 years ago?
It’s hard to declare a clear verdict. There are positives and challenges, and looking back is not the aim. The focus is forward—believing that the best moments are still to come, and that growth comes from embracing change while honoring foundations laid decades ago.
Was there more freedom of expression in Spain 40 years ago than there is today?
There used to be a freer space to speak and write, with some audiences dismissing the upset voices as old-fashioned. Today, the climate feels more sensitive, and many public figures fear backlash for speaking freely. Opinions are strong and diverse, and cancel culture is a frequent topic. Yet the core idea remains clear: open dialogue is essential, even when it provokes debate.
To celebrate their long career, they remastered all their hits into a deluxe edition at Abbey Road studios. Hombres G started the fan phenomenon in this country, like the Beatles around the world. Do young people still enter G-Men locker rooms?
Absolutely. The connection to fans remains vibrant. The newer generations approach the music with enthusiasm and curiosity, embracing the band’s legacy while adding their own energy. The thrill of discovery continues, and the group experiences a renewed sense of excitement as younger audiences engage with their classic songs.
Which song from the Beatles would you play?
All of them. They represent a shared musical genius, and many tracks stand out as timeless anthems that resonate across eras and cultures. The choice would reflect a reverence for the craft and an appreciation for how these melodies connect people around the world.
For those who don’t know, there was always a punk spirit behind Hombres G. Am I wrong?
No, that perception isn’t wrong. The band emerged in the early eighties with a punk energy, and even as their sound evolved toward pop with lyric-driven melodies, they maintained a willingness to explore and experiment. They welcome songs from any style that carries a message or emotion, keeping doors open to new influences and ideas while staying true to their core sensibilities.
You are the stars of Latin America. How are you experiencing what’s going on in Ecuador these days?
The situation is a genuine concern. The group shares a close connection with the city and its people, forming bonds that run deep. They’ve met many kind individuals and hold a heartfelt affection for the country. The hope is for peace to prevail and for prudent steps that lead to a calm, stable future, since peace is the foundation for any meaningful progress in difficult times.
Every fashion goes out of fashion. Will reggaeton do this too?
Perhaps. Trends shift, and musical tastes evolve. There’s curiosity about how different genres will ride the wave of popularity, and only time will tell how lasting certain sounds prove to be. The band’s stance is to stay open-minded and enjoy the variety that music continually offers.
What price did Hombres G have to pay for independence?
The path came with challenges. The band faced harsh criticism and slower formal recognition in its homeland, even as they played stadiums and sold millions of records abroad. Jealousy existed, but a loyal fanbase provided energy and momentum. Gratitude now accompanies the perspective that their achievements were earned through resilience, passion, and the support of a widespread audience.
When you look back and look in the rearview mirror, what do you see in G Men earlier today?
Not much seems to have changed at the core. Time has added years, yet the joy remains strong. The journey continues to offer surprises and a sense of magnificent madness, fueling a daily confidence that the best may still be ahead.
How do you explain that Hombres G has never been broken?
It boils down to friendship and mutual respect. The members are like brothers who love their work and value the music they create. That bond keeps them united through every challenge and every milestone, making the endurance feel natural and earned.
