Overview
- Martínez said that over 17 years with the band her artistic views were routinely sidelined, leaving her feeling like a perpetual substitute.
- She recounted that a record-company president told her “qué tetas tienes” during a celebration of a No. 1, and said none of the men present intervened.
- After the meeting, she told bandmates she feared damaging her relationship with Sony Music, using the episode to urge men to act when they witness sexism.
- La Oreja de Van Gogh announced earlier this month that original vocalist Amaia Montero has rejoined for a tour across Spain.
- Martínez noted the group’s departure statement about her exit was later removed from social media and said the public response in her favor was overwhelming, as she now advances a solo career with new music, major shows and TV roles.
