And she is also the author of the book “Plano Secuencia”, an atypical biography of Bunbury, in which she narrates one of his tours of the United States. In this talk Bunbury discusses some aspects of his past career with Heroes of Silence, such as his success in Germany maintaining Spanish to reach European audiences. But of course he talks about the present. From his recently released album “Posible”, which has reached number 1 in Spain and Latin America, his life in Los Angeles, how he faces the new normal as an artist, the future of the music industry.
