La 1 broadcast a new installment of Días de Tele on Wednesday, March 29. David and José Muñoz, members of Estopa, opened up on the program about the money they have earned thanks to music.
The brothers talked about their beginnings in the industry. "At that time we did not think that we were going to live on nothing, we were like a kind of vanguard, which ends soon. Finishes soon, dies young and enjoys the way. Well, now we have realized that we have advanced, we have passed all the filters and here we are," David explained.
"We are the same, but 28 years later," he added. "And a little richer," qualified the presenter, Julia Otero. "Very rich compared to that time. It's not that we're Florentino or Georgina or Cristiano, I don't compare myself to these people, but compared to what we were before, that we were two workers," David replied.
"My father, on our first tour, told us 'you have earned more money than me in my entire life working with a single tour,'" José related. "And that to me is being very rich," David clarified.
The musicians told what their life was like before they succeeded, when they worked in a SEAT factory. "We were all equally weird in the factory, they were all weird. We were all from Cornellà and Hospitalet," David recalled. "I plugged my brother in, what a fucking plug," he blurted out between laughs.
"That time, as it was our youth, we remember it very well. Nobody complained. Obviously, for the hours, yes; for the salary, yes; for the work, yes, but there was a camaraderie that I have not perceived again, " opined.
In addition, the interviewees revealed that, when they were already working as musicians and were very successful, they tried to convince them to change their appearance and wardrobe. "We paid no attention to them. Our manager, León, told us 'don't go like that, put on a little sport night'. What is that? What does sport night mean? I don't understand that concept. We pay no attention to anyone" , commented David, who denied that his fame was the result of a marketing campaign, as has happened with other artists. "It's not always true. I'm sure when they saw us, they thought 'there's a niche here,'" he joked.
