Navajeros, Eloy de la Iglesia + Ortopedia Técnica music band life

Navajeros, Eloy de la Iglesia, Spain, 1980, 95' with the music group Ortopedia Técnica performing live.

Synopsis: José Manuel Gómez Perales, alias ‘El Jaro’, lives in Madrid with his gang and his ‘girlfriends’. One day he meets a prostitute of Mexican origin who falls in love with him and offers him her house to take him away from the world of crime. Jaro accepts the shelter, but continues to strike with his gang. One day he meets a teenage drug addict and falls in love with her.

Ortopedia Técnica: The band from Castellón, Ortopedia Técnica is at the crossroads where a powerful sound based on punk and indie rock meets other border genres such as post-punk, garage or noise, without fear of experimentation. At full speed and without brakes, with energetic melodies, catchy turns and lyrics full of rage and melancholy. This youthful, desperate and nihilistic vision makes them similar to Navajeros, an iconic and cult film by Eloy de la Iglesia, a masterpiece of cinema quinqui portraying the society of developmentalism and how juvenile delinquency, marginalisation and drugs were part of the daily menu.
