Yo No Soy ESA Que Tú Te Imaginas / I'm Not the Woman You Imagine Me to Be [Spanish]

By Miguel Fernández

Todo lo que nunca se ha contado sobre Mari Trini

Yo no soy esa que t te imaginas nos acerca a una de las artistas m s populares y quiz m s enigm ticas de la m sica espa ola; una cantautora inigualable que abri caminos, en todos los sentidos, a las generaciones que la siguieron.

Tras un largo proceso de investigaci n, esta biograf a indaga en las facetas que, durante medio siglo, han alimentado la leyenda en torno a su figura: la singularidad de su aspecto, la enfermedad que marc su infancia, la relaci n con Nicholas Ray -menos id lica y desinteresada de lo que aparentaba-, el pulso constante con una industria discogr fica manejada por hombres o las razones del injusto ostracismo al que se vio sometida en sus ltimos a os de vida.

Liberada de la falsa imagen que siempre la present como solitaria, arisca y triste, Mari Trini se nos muestra ahora como una mujer luchadora y valiente; empoderada, pertida y solidaria; capaz de vivir su sexualidad sin ocultarse, de plantar cara a la censura y al machismo; y de mantenerse siempre fiel a sus ideas.

A medio camino entre la nostalgia y la reivindicaci n, este libro recupera la voz de una estrella, icono de los movimientos feministas y LGTBIQ+, que se apag demasiado pronto en el olvido despu s de haber brillado con intensidad suficiente para iluminar nuestros d as.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The untold story of Mari Trini

I'm Not the Woman You Imagine Me to Be examines the life of one of Spain's most popular and perhaps most enigmatic artists, an unparalleled singer-songwriter who paved the way, in every sense, for generations of women to follow.

Based on careful research, this biography explores the aspects of Mari Trini's life that have contributed to her legend over the last half-century: her singular appearance; the chronic illness that shaped her early years; her relationship with Nicholas Ray, less selfless and idyllic than it seemed; the pressures of a male-dominated record industry; and the ostracism to which she was unfairly subjected in the last years of her life.

Liberated from the false image created for her as lonely, aloof and sad, Mari Trini is revealed as hardworking and courageous, empowered and generous, comfortable with her sexuality despite social disapproval and machismo, and true to her ideals.

Somewhere between nostalgia and an effort to set the record straight, this book celebrates the voice of a stellar talent and icon of the feminist and LGTBIQ+ movements that was silenced too soon, but was powerful enough to light up an era.
