About José Capmany
José Capmany was a Costa Rican songwriter and guitarist. Along with Enrique Ramírez, he was a founder of the band Café con Leche, a popular rock band in Costa Rica in the late 1980s. His latest release "Canciones Cotidianas" included a compilation of his work. Songs like "El Barco", "Los Pollitos", "La Modelo" and "Mamá y Papá" are considered folk rock music in Costa Rica. He died in a car accident on October 13th, 2001. Capmany is widely recognised as the most important rock musician and a cornerstone in Costa Rican rock development. Many musicians have said they found him a source of inspiration, and most of his songs have been sung by other people as a form of tribute. Sony Music edited a last album with Capmany's music after his death. "Volando alto/La historia salvaje" is a doble disc, one with his old hits and other with unreleased songs that were completed by his bandmates.
