Biography of Adolfo “Fito” Cabrales

Adolfo Cabrales, known as "Fito", was born in the Zabala neighborhood in Bilbao, and spent part of his childhood and adolescence in Laredo, Cantabria, and Málaga. In his youth he worked as a barman in a brothel his father owned. In these early periods of his musical career he admits to having consumed drugs, although now he declares himself "clean".
In 1989 Fito joined Iñaki "Uoho" Antón, Juantxu "Mongol" Olano and Jesús "Maguila" García, raised also in Fito's neighborhood, and formed the group Platero y Tú. They recorded their first album in 1991, Voy a acabar borracho ("I will end up drunk"). During the 90s, Platero made a name in the Spanish rock scene, and formed links to other important artists such as La Polla Records (Evaristo has a collaboration in the song Juliette), Rosendo Mercado (Sin solución) and, most prominently, the group Extremoduro, with whom they made a joint tour in 1996.
In 1998, and in parallel to Platero y Tú, the group Fito & Fitipaldis is formed, with the aim of publishing the songs that do not fit in the Platero repertoire. At first both groups coexisted without problems, but after Platero y Tú dissolved in 2001, Fito worked exclusively in his new group, obtaining an even greater success.
Fito is remarkable both in style and personality. He is thin and short (around 1.64 m and 50 kg), usually wears long sideburns and a shaved scalp. He is nearly always seen wearing a flat cap, which he used to give them away after the concerts (when he was with Platero y Tú.)
He currently lives in the town of Gernika, Biscay.


Lyrics of the song “Todo a cien” (Antes de que cuente diez)
Puedes pedirme la luna, que locura ¡¡
fijo que te traigo un queso
Puedes pedirme amor, ay que dolor¡¡
al precio que esta la carne me conformo con un beso.
Ni tu eres la princesa de este cuento, ni a besos vas a convertirme en rana.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Y hace tiempo que se que el mundo no es mío ni mi hogar, paso por la vida de alquiler, de turismo sexual.
Si la vida es una orgía, yo voy de paja mental. Tirititraum, traum, traum. Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
Es poco lo que tengo, el oro de mi tiempo, la flor de mis neuronas y por supuesto la luna.
