Endemol Shine Boomdog, BTF Media and Sony Music Spain are developing an original drama series based on the life of Spanish musician Joaqu\u00edn Sabina.<\/p>\n
Together with Reposado Productions, a separate documentary will be produced about Sabina to be released in 2020. Director and screenwriter Fernando Le\u00f3n de Aranoa, known for award-winning Spanish films such as Barrio<\/em> and Mondays in the Sun<\/em> (Los lunes al sol<\/em>), will co-produce and direct the documentary. He is currently in discussion to join the drama series as well.<\/p>\n Oriol Uria, CEO of BTF Media Spain, said, \u201cSince day one while working with Sony Music Spain to make a Sabina project, something changed in my life. That is Sabina\u2019s magic. Sabina is not only a huge artist, but with no doubts, he is also a generous human being.<\/p>\n \u201cTo have Endemol Shine Boomdog accepting our invitation to join us in such a special project has been not only an honor, but also, has made this journey even more exciting. Sometimes life is generous in presents and Fernando joining the project was an exceptional one of these. It is an extraordinary experience being able to enjoy seeing such artists like Sabina and Fernando working together.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with BTF Media and Sony Music Spain to tell the amazing life story of Joaqu\u00edn Sabina through an original dramatic series and also with a documentary,\u201d said Endemol Shine Boomdog CEO Alejandro Rincon. \u201cAnd it is great to have such an acclaimed director, producer and screenwriter as Fernando joining us on this journey. Fernando\u2019s extraordinary experience and his close relationship with Joaquin make him the perfect addition.\u201d<\/p>\n Jose Maria Barbat, president of Sony Music Spain, commented, \u201cJoaqu\u00edn Sabina is one of the key artists of Sony, with a career hard to match in our country and throughout the region. We had to develop a project with him, especially in his 70th anniversary. We are thrilled to celebrate with him.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cFor years we have been working with the idea of developing a documentary that is now happily joined by the biopic project. We are excited about both projects that will surely leverage Joaqu\u00edn\u2019s life in a new way: to bring his work to new audiences along with his longtime fans, by means of new platforms and with the best possible partners. This is an excellent project that confirms the bet of the company for the original content of the highest quality. I would like to personally thank Joaqu\u00edn for his confidence in approaching a project of this magnitude and Sergi and Oriol for the passion and affection they have placed in him.\u201d<\/p>\n Sergi Reitg, content director of Sony Music Spain, remarked, \u201cSince I took on the challenge of launching the Premium Content area for Sony Music Spain, the main objective was to develop, among others, biopics on top-level artists, with an international focus (especially for Spanish-speaking audiences), with the highest production quality and with the best partners in the sector. The biopic of Joaqu\u00edn Sabina is the ideal project for this objective and the type of productions that we are going to develop in the upcoming years at Sony Music Spain. I am also happy that Joaqu\u00edn and his team have been fully involved in the project from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Endemol Shine Boomdog, BTF Media and Sony Music Spain are developing an original drama series based on the life of Spanish musician Joaqu\u00edn Sabina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2890,2760,2891],"class_list":["post-10649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-btf-media","tag-endemol-shine-boomdog","tag-sony-music-spain","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
