The world of music and sports are compatible
This was the case, for example, with Mats Wilander, who after winning several Grand Slam titles, switched to guitar music with his rock group, the Clark Band. Within the Spanish guitar scene, some flamenco greats, such as Jerez-born Fernando Moreno, also claim to have had a passionate past as an athlete. Former Real Madrid player Esteban Granero, meanwhile, is a lover of classical guitar and Spanish artists such as Quique González. Without abandoning football, former Real Madrid midfielder Álvaro Benito, after suffering a serious injury, founded the band Pignoise. The legendary Julio Iglesias had previously followed a similar path, going from football to vocalist. Returning to the world of tennis, Frenchman Yannick Noah, winner of the Roland Garros in 1993, decided to devote himself exclusively to the reggae genre. But it's not just tennis players and soccer players who have shown their love for music. Within motorsports, Formula One driver Jaime Alguersauri is an expert DJ in his spare time, having recently released the album "Organic Life." Another lover of dance floors and electronic music is Fonsi Nieto, who regularly spins at the Pachá nightclub in Ibiza. Two-time World Superbike champion James Toseland also formed Crash, with relative success. Gaizka Mendieta, a former member of Barça, has developed more melodic tastes with his Gasteiz Gang, which performed at the recent Benicassim Festival. In short, sport and music are equally attractive. Image
