Rainbow: Bajo el Arco Iris ![]() ISBN: ISBN-13: 978-8-412532-85-2 Writer: Jose Galván Language: Spanish Publisher: Lenoir Libros Released: May 2024 Notes: Ritchie Blackmore, unpredictable, temperamental, blessed with a mischievous, sometimes perverse—and occasionally destructive—sense of humor, was a man of complex personality, a nonconformist always in search of perfection, unable to tolerate both fools and recording studios. Because of all this, in 1975 he decided to leave Deep Purple and realize both his dreams and obsessions, whether musical or personal, and founded the musical entity known as Rainbow. The group, and its famous logo, would become iconic, and over the years would feature fabulous performances, give rise to a number of juicy anecdotes, and produce several seminal albums such as Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Down To Earth, On Stage, and the legendary Rainbow Rising. It would also be the school that molded two dozen great musicians who, on their own merits, would leave their mark on the history of music. Notable among them are Cozy Powell, Don Airey, Graham Bonnet, David Rosenthal, Joe Lynn Turner, Roger Glover, and the ever-missed Ronnie James Dio. Fifty years later, this is the story of a legendary group that continues to amaze with the quality of its songwriting and the intensity of its live performances. |
