▌ Content warning Drugs, youth violence and street language. Heroin appears as what it was in that Vallecas: something that took people with it.
▌ Where it all begins
Vallecas, 1990. Rai is fifteen, with a hundred pesetas in his pocket and a transistor radio he uses to catch songs on the fly. One January night, grounded and stuck at home, he turns the dial all the way to the end and finds something that shouldn't exist: music that never stops and a girl's voice whispering, at the stroke of midnight, «if you've found us, you're already one of us.»
That pirate radio station will bring together an unrepeatable gang through the longest summer of their lives: arcades, tapes recorded on a rooftop, first kisses at the street fair and a legendary club on the other side of Madrid. They'll learn that the neighbourhood gives you a chosen family… and that everything, in the end, has its price.
The prequel to Ecos de la Noche. (Written in Spanish.)

What people usually ask
What is Ecos de la Noche 1990 about?
Vallecas, summer of 1990. Rai is fifteen, with a transistor radio he uses to catch songs. One night he finds a pirate station at the end of the dial that shouldn’t exist, and an unrepeatable gang forms around it. It is the prequel to Ecos de la Noche. Written in Spanish.
Which book in the saga should I start with?
Either one. In chronological order it is Ecos de la Noche 1990 (summer 1990) first, then Ecos de la Noche (1996), but each stands on its own. Ecos de una Mili is separate: a real memoir, not fiction.

It is fiction, but the Vallecas in it is real: the neighbourhood, the tower blocks, the shutters and the heroin of those years. The author grew up there.
