Movida Madrileña Makes For Great YouTubing

Here's a better look at Martirio from back in the day - more camp, less class:

And here's her son's band, just for the hell of it:

But I'm not really a fan... I'm old school, and I still love me some Pata Negra:

Which reminds me (actually, my wife reminded me) - don't forget to pick up a copy of Pata Negra's Blues de la Frontera album. It was, according to la mujer, pretty much the soundtrack to La Movida although she confessed that her personal soundtrack was more Depech Mode than anything else). And it still holds up today - I haven't been to too many gatherings of Madrilernos over 30 where this one wasn't broken out for a few sing-alongs... Even if Rafa and Raimundo don't play together very much these days... A total classic...

"I went down to the sewer and the rats gave me their loooooove!" Sigh. Love Labyrinth of Passion. Does a soundtrack even exist?

Hahahaha... awesome and don't forget Martirio:

She proved that you didn't have to be male to be a drag queen...
