La Resistencia this Wednesday welcomed a notable guest, an acclaimed Spanish actor and rapper, to present his latest album. The appearance on David Broncano’s show highlighted the intersection of music and personal health experiences that have shaped his career.

Spasticity refers to a neurological condition that can cause muscles to stay tense and stiff, making it hard to walk or move the arms and hands. El Langui explains that cerebral palsy is a symptom found among several conditions such as stroke or multiple sclerosis, contributing to persistent muscle stiffness and limb deformities. He described the impact with candor, noting the blunt reality of living with the condition while still pursuing creative work and daily life with resilience.

During the interview, the rapper shared that he continues to push forward in his career, describing his routine in Malaga where the city’s venues and bars offer a familiar backdrop for performances. He contrasted this with the bustle of Madrid, emphasizing a preference for efficient travel, good weather, and supportive people as part of his ongoing work in the MovistarPlus format.

The importance of the physiotherapist

El Langui spoke about his collaboration with Nacho, a neurological physiotherapist based in Majadahonda, near Madrid, who has helped him explore options to ease stiffness and improve movement. He recalled moments on a bike when steering became challenging and credits these sessions with new strength and control. The artist shared a mix of humor and determination as he described progress during therapy sessions and performances, underscoring the practical benefits of targeted physical work.

With spasticity, pain can be a regular companion. In a first session with Nacho, El Langui discovered the therapist’s ability to assist with extending the hand and coordinating movements more smoothly. He recalled performing a concert that day, noticing increased agility and a sense of relaxation on stage. The conversation carried a light tone, even as it touched on serious health considerations and the ongoing need for professional guidance.

There is no simple cure for spasticity, and the rapper underscored the value of ongoing treatment with a neurologically specialized physical therapist to maintain range of motion and reduce discomfort over time.

The most controversial tweet from El Langui

Fans and followers were talking about a recent match between Spain and Morocco, which ended with the national team’s defeat in a penalty shootout. He offered a candid take, noting that speaking from the comfort of a couch is easy, while penalties demand steady nerves. He added a sharp remark about the severity of spasticity in the context of the game, reflecting his willingness to engage in bold, unfiltered commentary.

The discussion among supporters continued as players and fans debated the situation, with no details given about the three top penalties that could have changed the outcome. The exchange highlighted how public figures navigate sport, health, and public perception in equal measure.
