Road Discuss Rap talk about possibly the first rap group in the history of this country. Trying to confirm this is indeed a very difficult task given the strong influence of U.S. culture in this country in the early 80's, not only through film and music, but with such important events as the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, and more specifically, the local residents American bases in cities like Madrid. You can not tell who or who were the first to venture to do this kind of music for sure, but many of the b-boys remember the first time the duo of Villaverde and Alcala (hence the name) as possibly first serious proposal on the scene.
We went back to the first 80 and we are located in Alcalá de Henares. The son of a humble businessman hardware store owner, Emilio was introduced into the world of sound through the influence of a regular customer named Luis trade, while he was discovering the classics of break time tuning the music programmed in the base Torrejón de Ardoz air. Gradually he would learn from the first concepts after buying his first DJ equipment, a mixer and a turntable Dynacord Ocnoson belt drive with speed control. No doubt, some archaic equipment for someone who now has a whopping 26 years in a booth handing out rhythms. With the same innocence and insecurity that any beginner, Emilio then presented to a contest unattainable Keni's disco bar in the town encouraged by his friends, whose first prize allows you to access their first job. Night after night, its full of funk, soul, pop, disco and techno are gaining popularity and after four years filling the tracks several disco bars and Chintofano Alcala, Mr. Frank and The Shield, gives the expected jump to the capital. The year is 1987. An experienced and DJ Emilio becomes part of one of the most renowned clubs of the capital of the kingdom, Dinos Madrid, owned by José Luis Fradejas, host of TV Applause recalled the first TV English and located in the basement of Orense, in the mythical 
Azca, a place that sometimes housed meetings of b-boys of the time. That's where he met Periko, the MC who will undertake the difficult adventure of forming a rap group during a period where the Hip Hop in Spain is practically unknown to the ordinary citizen and is seen as a fad imported empty and unsubstantiated.
The explosion of rural exodus to the cities in the 60's in this country is stabilized and became commonplace in the following decades. Periko history was here like so many English families: a humble family of the people Zarza Capilla de Badajoz moved to Madrid in search of a better life calling in Villaverde low. The music of Kraftwerk German served as a stimulus for a boy who gradually became interested in the first issues the new style that began to arrive from the United States. From the sounds clubs specializing in funk, soul and disco that he frequented with his inseparable friend, Manuel Abad, Nuevos Ministerios became hooked on the new wave of break dance spread mainly by the film Beat Street in 1984. Many young people adopted the Hip Hop as a way confront the reality of time understanding their similarities with the African American community. Periko Pinieps Breakers formed his crew along with Manuel and some friends, early adopters of new artistic and cultural expression, not only break dance, one of its components, Tomy, specializing in graffiti, while Manolo Periko and began to write his first rhymes, recording the song 'Rap Orense', probably the first recorded rap theme here for a few b-boys: an ode to all urban dancers twisted their bodies on the gleaming marble of low Orense street.
EARLY GROUP
History of Rap was born in Azca Road in 1987 when he and his friends discover Periko Dinos disco in which Emilio exercises its role as disc-jockey offering selections of the best funk and electro the time. To a group of b-boys was surprising to find a place where the music programs in the very low Azca. E 
ste chance encounter was the beginning of one of the pioneer formations of this country. Remember as Emilio: "I remember it was a little cut Periko and it was their friends who did the honors introduce me as the artist the gang. Later I suggested that he might sing a live rap and not really put any kind of disability. The music stopped, I put a base and his friend began to patter Manolo phrases in English and Castilian. At that time sang his first rap in public and I rushed and improvised some scratchin and end is not entirely wrong. Best of all, it created some buzz because no one was quite used to seeing those things in nightclubs. A few weeks later I proposed to Periko the possibility to get together and record a demo, it seemed a good idea and we did. We recorded in my home and developed the first song called 'Tamprokemet's' . did not have much idea of \u200b\u200bscratching. As I recorded keyboards in live with a small keyboard he owned was a Yamaha Portamenu 100 of the little ones, in a word, a toy. We did the mixture on the basis of one of the issues 
John Jellybean Benitez "The mexican". The reaction of astonishment from the environment of their respective friends encouraged them to continue writing songs and in a natural way and Periko named Emilio Rap group as a Road, a name created with the compound of the populations of Villaverde and Alcala de Henares.
Emilio few months later changed his room and began work on Plato Jácara located in the Salamanca district of the capital, a nightclub that hosted big events like the presentation of the lp 'Bad' 
of Michael Jackson to the media, performances by Chaka Khan and J ames Brown . There he worked with Jesus Aguilar, one of the first people to bet for music of the duo. "When had a more direct relationship to it and talk about 
our musical tastes, l and told performed models related megamixes and models our rap group. Jesus asked me to present them in first in his radio program 'La Quinta Bundranaly generation', a program the best music funky d and the capital in or Radi Iris at 99.9 FM. My first mixer and 
the first models I made with Periko sounded for all Madrid and most impressive of all is that listeners the program to 
called to inquire and give us encouragement. " Thus began polishing his self-proclaimed style 'Funky Fresh' and promote it from the cabins of Air & Cherry rooms where Emilio exercised in 1988, from occasional performances in clubs in the capital and Kea or Four Roses, yat raves Radio 
Thousand Dances in RNE with support from Michael Box and Radio Sensation DJ Paco. Gradually the group began to take off. " later and the demos that we sent to different places, we 
program called Plastic to make our first performance in a TV studio. fly to Barcelona in Esplugas is where we recorded the performance. There he met his host Tinet and agree with the first vocalist Ya Kid K Technotronic group.
THE BOOM OF RAP IN CASTILIAN
Following a Madrid report called Hip Hop Miguel Trillo for South Express magazine in February 1988, producers Munárriz Jaime, Luis G. School and Julio Seijas decide to go to work to edit the first rap LP released in this country the following year under the label Trojan DSCS & RCRS. Immediately the multinational BMG Ariola sets her sights on exploring the new style and after a high-profile party in the disco Speek selection of Torrejon de Ardoz, brings together all groups that composed the memorable compilation Rap 'in Madrid. Rap Road appeared in it recommended by the Miguel Trillo thanks to his initial projection and its path to the theme crazy Story " In our case, all production is d 
evelopment in recording studios Luis Carlos Esteban, ex-keyboardist of the group Olé Olé. Producer of some of the themes of the LP with Marcos Calvo and Pedro del Moral, that together the three producers made up the group Rebel Without Pause. We with them we were unlucky because when we were developing the production viciously us did not have decaf and our ideas in mind, making the commercial version of the disc, which hurt us and took a picture we do not want at any time. "
The Press releases, radio and television began to be common to the impact of compilation in the country, which reached platinum with 100,000 copies shipped, and Rap Road are responsible for opening fire on Young MC performs concerts in Madrid and 
Barcelona presentation of the compilation and publishing in Spain of a number of American records under seal Rap label 'in.

FUNKY FRESH

2 Live Crew, MC Shy-D and electro funk classics like Afrika Bambaataa, Egyptian Lover, Planet Patrol, or Twilight 22, fit perfectly with the lyrical style and brash and uninhibited lyrics Periko, who dwells at home on issues such as Vice insatiable and Job , as a single theme and you edit a 7 " that year. Do not stop funky fresh has many interesting moments as cutting DJ Freestyle, Bass fresh waves or Human beat box by one of the most respected beatboxers Madrid Bee Charly times, and still retains the old flavor of classic, elegant 1990, despite the attempts of much Public ridiculous parallels to today. Unfortunately, the debut of the locals is difficult to find from the time of departure. According to Emilio recalls: "hurry ran the LP that we ordered ... 
We did prepare in forty days you do not stop working day and night, and later deposit in the drawer of his office not just make damn case. The only lashing some peel was Marcos. As many as 500,000 pts of those times. We do not collect or we travel to the study nor diets.
