Pablo Guerrero
Pablo Guerrero (18 October 1946 – 30 September 2025) was a Spanish singer-songwriter, lyricist, and poet from Extremadura. He lived in Madrid from the late 1960s.
Guerrero used traditional harmonies and melodies from Extremadura, with flamenco, American folk music, rock, and jazz influences. In the mid-1980s he introduced African rhythms and rhythms from other cultures, including avant-garde styles such as minimalism, ambient, electronic, and random music. Guerrero published poetry continuously from 1988 on.
Guerrero was born into a family of small landowners in Esparragosa de Lares, Badajoz, on 18 October 1946. He attended public school, "Virgen de la Cueva", in his village. After finishing high school in Badajoz, he studied teaching in Sigüenza (Guadalajara).
At the age of 16, Guerrero received his first guitar as a gift and began playing music with an amateur group from his school. They performed songs from Los Bravos and Los Brincos. He also played songs by Georges Moustaki, Jorge Cafrune, Joan Baez, Massiel, and the Dynamic Duo.
Guerrero went to Madrid to study liberal arts, specifically literature, while at about the same time, he began to sing, but without any professional intentions, but continued to train as a musician by attending private classes. His poetic interests continued to develop with readings by Pablo Neruda, Blas de Otero, Luis Cernuda, José Ángel Valente and José Agustín Goytisolo during 1969–1978.
Guerrero died in Madrid on 30 September 2025, at the age of 78.
In 1969 Guerrero presented himself at the Benidorm Festival with the song Amapolas y Espigas (trans: Poppies and Wheat Spikes [espiga: wheat still on the stalk]). The song won first prize for best lyrics and second prize overall. In his early days as a singer, Guerrero researched Extremadura folklore. After his success in Benidorm, he had to combine his career as a singer with teaching, apart from his studies of Philosophy and Letters (Hispanic Philology and Hispanic Literature).
With help from Manolo Diaz, Guerrero recorded on the Action label his first single, with arrangements by Ramón Farrán. The A-side was Amapolas y Espigas and the B-side was Carro y Camino.
