LOS SALTAMONTES - I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

Chema, Javi, Jaime, and Fran

At late 1993, Chema and goods friends (Javi, Jaime and Fran) made a minibeat group with "beatle look" in A Coruña: Los Saltamontes (The  Grasshopper). In these year, Chema was 7, Javi 8, Jaime 6, and Fran 8 years old. The most important, as Chema's dad say, was his fun.

They recorded 3 LPs, being the most renowned "Singing The Beatles -Children'S Tribute". They reached such a success that Paul McCartney, and Yoko Ono, both congratulated them for their well-done work, by handwritten letters, and few presents (read in ABC newspaper). Even they played in Liverpool,at the legendary Matthew St. (April 1997). See videos below, and enjoy the song!
