Overview

  • Following a recent show in Cádiz, Eva Amaral posted on X on August 15 to denounce roughly two decades of misogynistic insults and some threats tied to a false claim about a Bunbury song, urging that their followers be left in peace.
  • Enrique Bunbury has issued a new statement on social media reiterating that Puta Desagradecida is not about Amaral and describing it as a Latin American–style song of heartbreak written from experiences in Nicaragua.
  • He detailed the 2004 events around Bob Dylan’s Spain dates: Amaral were contracted as openers, promoter Gay Mercader invited him to cover after Juan Aguirre’s hand injury, and he welcomed Eva continuing the shows solo.
  • Bunbury emphasized that Amaral did not take his place and that he was never angry, and he asked his followers to show respect, praised the duo’s talent, and apologized for the harm caused by those who believed the rumor.
  • He added that he did not start the rumor and is not responsible for it, while acknowledging the damage it has caused to Amaral over many years.
