En este mes hemos decidido hablar sobre un artista que todos conocemos, un icono entre los iconos y que, si no bailaste nunca uno de sus tracks no tenes infancia (ajajaj). Estamos hablando obviamente de Haddaway.

Si bien todos lo conocemos por Haddaway, su nombre real es Néstor Alexander Haddaway. ¿Una locura no?, les cuento una historia personal de Jhon X (Si, soy yo el que escribe el articulo). Cuando tuve la duda de buscar a Haddaway en facebook, no sabía su nombre y solo puse Haddaway en el buscador. Para mi sorpresa era amigo de una conocida mía y lo que más me flasheo, es que su nombre era Nestor, cosa que pensé que era falsa pero bueno… le escribí igual.

Al escribirle le consulte si era el perfil de un fan o era el perfil real porque “Nestor” no me sonaba muy real. Pasaron como dos meses y un día recibo a las 3 de la tarde la respuesta. Yo pensé que nunca me iba a responder, pero el tipo cumplió. Me dijo “Si soy yo, ese nombre me lo pusieron mis padres”. Estuvimos charlando un rato sobre su carrera y como llevaba todo el tema de la música hoy en día. Me comento que tenía muchas fechas en festivales del recuerdo como “I love the 90’s” y otros más con movidas parecidas las cuales se arman en toda Europa. Toda esta charla mientras el esperaba un avión en el aeropuerto de Ámsterdam. Un tipazo Haddaway y siempre muy amable conmigo, siendo que yo solo era un fan.

Este mes decidimos hacer un video con su historia de vida la cual es muy particular. Espero que les guste Haddaway y todos sus tracks ya clásicos como What is love, Life, I Miss You, Rock My Heart, Fly Away, entre muchos más.

This month, we have decided to talk about an artist that we all know, an icon among icons, if you did not dance to one of his tracks, you did not have a childhood (LOL).

While we all know him as Haddaway, his given name is Nestor Alexander Haddaway. Crazy,isn’t it? Let me tell you my experience ahen searching for Haddaway on Facebook, I did not know his name so I just typed Haddaway in the search engine. To my surprise, he was a friend of an acquaintance of mine but what stroke me the most was the fact his name would be Nestor, which I thought it was false but, anyway… I typed a message.

In my message I asked him if this was a fan’s profile or it was his real profile because «Nestor» did not sound very real. About two months went by, and one day at three o’clokc in the afternoon I got my answer. I thought he was never going to answer, but he did deliver. He said to me «Yes I am, that is the name my parents gave me.»

We went on chatting for a while about him and how he has carried out his musical career nowadays. He explained he has a lot of gigs from Festivals in the fashion of «I Love The 90’s» and others with a similar concept which are spread throughout Europe. All this talk was happening while he was waiting for a flight at the Amsterdam airport.

Haddaway is a such a great guy and always very kind to me,given the fact that I was just a fan.

This month we decided to make a video about his particular life story. I hope you like Haddaway and all of his already classic tracks like «What is love», «Life», «I Miss You», «Rock My Heart» and «Fly Away», among many others.
