Iruña, Spain
Tonino Carotone was born in Iruñea, the Basque name for Pamplona, a small town in Nafarroa, East Basque Country, famous for bullfighting. This perhaps explains the explosive temperament of this eccentric artist.
His real name is Antonio De La Questa and he started playing music in the 80’s, when he participated in three different punk bands: Cagando Duro (The Hard Shit), Tijuana in Blue and Kojon Prieto y Los Huajolotes. The last ones quickly became famous all over Spain, as they were playing covers of artists such as Al Bano and Raffaella Carra. Through one of their fantastic live appearances they drew the attention of Manu Chao, former leader of Mano Negra.
A few years later, in 2000, he would be the producer in Carotone’s first solo album: “E Un Mondo Difficile”. The name that he now uses is a paraphrase of the Italian Carosone, in honour of an eminent Italian singer of the 50’s, Renato Carosone (his big hit is “
Tu vuò fà l’americano”).
His music combines punk with elements from Spanish, Italian, French, even Mexican popular music. It resembles the band Negresses Vertes and the solo works of Manu Chao, while a lot of critics are placing his music somewhere between Adriano Celentano and Tom Waits. The lyrics of his songs are often amusing, ironic or even surreal.
