Jesús Vicente Aguirre

Jesus Vicente Aguirre González (Logroño, 1948). In the seventies, together with his wife Carmen Medrano, he was part of some groups of the so-called social or protest song. At the end of the decade, and already like Carmen, Jesús and Iñaki, they put the background music to the Rioja transition that, like in the rest of Spain, demanded democracy, freedom and autonomy. They recorded two LPs. His song La Rioja exists, but it is not, if we unite we have to do it, it became an authentic popular hymn of La Rioja. Later he worked in other fields of communication: radio, press and image. He has been a technical official of the Logroño City Council.
