The great tragedy of John, the saxophonist of the pekenikes to whom they plagiarized 'the game of the OCA'

In the 60s, the Pekenikes group became one of the greatest record labels of the Spanish industry where the voices of Juan Pardo, Junior or Luis Eduardo Aute were forged. One of the members of musical training, the saxophonist Juan Jiménez, has wake up from his lethargy through his son Daniel, who has published the plagiarism (Ed. Pumpkin Pepitas), where he executes with Masters as three television managers They stole the idea of their parent to produce one of the most successful competitions in history, the Great Game of the OCA (1993-1995) that had more than 40% of the screen fee at the time of private televisions.

Antena 3 was somewhat marked with its three original presenters, Emilio Aragón, Lydia Bosch and Patricia Pérez. Then came Pepe Navarro, Ivonne Reyes ... and in 1998 the rights acquired Telecinco, where Andrés Caparrós or Elsa Anka was presented. When Jiménez ignited television that October 2, 1993, they could not believe what they were seeing. His nightmare began. That truncated dream cost them the economic and emotional ruin whose algid point came with the suicide of his daughter. This is the origin of history.

John's imagination involved that a novel child play in which the children were walking, jumped and raffled all kinds of tests on top of a huge board after the release of an electronic die. He had already put his name, Parish. And he had spent nothing less than 64 million pesetas to make the pilot. All your savings. The product was too appetizing to let it escape, so the three directives of TVE that would then figure antenna 3 stolen the project.

Through the genus of autobiographical chronicle, Daniel tries to do poetic justice because in the courts they have not given them the reason in recent decades. The writer affirms that "to record him he spent all his savings, he mortgaged the house, sold the pub he had and contracted million He had signed agreements and contracts left a private chain. On October 2, 1993, a program was released in that chain with the same characteristics that my father had devised. "

As Daniel has revealed in ABC, the veteran musician and composer is sunk. Live with a miserable pension in a small town, they evicted him, it's hard for him at the end of the month, he does not put heating and air conditioning because he has to choose between eating or paying the receipts of light, his lawyer betrayed him because he did not show up Weather the expert report because he was a friend of these managers, offered him a bribe of 300,000 euros to shut up his mouth and after eight years in courts, they continue in the Departure box.

Daniel wanted to adjust accounts and the family expects the laws to get on his side, but in this case of television corruption tissue of intrigues, infidelities, disloyalties and many million in game show the plagiarism seems an impossible mission. But nobody fails. In John's life there is another date chiseled in the memory of him, that of July 2, 1965 when the Pekenikes were the telleros of the euphoric concert of the Beatles in sales.
