Alaska and Nacho Canut have talked, in an interview on the program “The minute that changed my destiny”, about his first appearance in Mexico as Fangoria in “Siempre en domingo” in the eighties and the singer assured that Raúl Velasco did not think the way she dressed was very good and told him so.

“ You don’t know who you’re going to meet and my first appearance in ‘Always on Sunday’ was very curious , because Raúl Velasco did not like my image very much and he said so”, the singer recounted.

On the live show, Velasco decided to call other characters to ask them about the singer’s appearance. “I think he called, I don’t know if the principal of my school or a teacher, told him: ‘Mr. Velasco, you can’t judge people by how they are dressed,’ and from then on he said: ‘well it’s true’”, assured Alaska.

He commented that from then on his relationship with Velasco was great and that whenever Fangoria visited Mexico, they went to the program “Siempre en Sunday” to appear.

Alaska is the daughter of an exiled Spanish Republican who lived in Mexico, when the singer was born in 1963 in Mexico City. However, at 10 years he moved to Spain with his family.
