Seville, Sep 7 (EFE).- Alejandro, son of María Jiménez, asked the public this Thursday to “toast her and listen to her music” to understand the work of an artist who “has reached the nirvana of her profession, who It is the most beautiful thing, and on top of that he has shared it.”
Alejandro, son of the artist and the late actor José Sancho, spoke to the media in the funeral chapel installed in the Seville City Hall after his death last morning.
“She has not been a wiseass, she has lived and suffered a lot,” highlighted the young man, who recalled that his mother “wanted to share” her experience and “support all the people who may experience a situation of abuse and who also feel have supported her.”
She has also given the LGTBI group as an example, who once expressed their admiration for her because “she had been able to come out while they were inhibited, so she was an inspiration for them.”
He has detailed that the artist “has not found out” about the last moments of her life, since she arrived in Seville from her home in Chiclana (Cádiz) a couple of days ago and “yesterday she was joking with her sister when she went to have her the CT scan”, a visit to the doctor that he “resisted” after the colon cancer he was diagnosed with a few years ago.
“None of us have found out, neither have I,” said Alejandro, who added that his mother “has spent the summer happily with her grandchildren, which is what she wanted.”
María Jiménez’s son has fulfilled the artist’s wishes for her burning chapel, installed in the Hall of the Stop of the City Hall: intense smell of incense and on the coffin a black manila shawl, which belonged to the artist’s mother.
Next to it is a photo of the singer on the cover of the album “Átame a tu cuerpo”, placed on the peacock feather fabric with which she gave the image to the album “Donde más duele”, in which she covered Joaquín Sabina.
Alejandro has also conveyed María’s wish that at some point during her farewell the song “Vida” should be played, included in her latest album, “La vida a mi corazón”, which he has defined as “twelve daggers” that “reach the soul.” “. EFE
