In 1964, a band called Los Botines gets together in Madrid to play rock<\/a> songs like ‘Hallelujah surf’ or the then trendy ‘Chico ye-ye’. The intention is to match the success of Los Brincos, but it doesn’t go so well. In fact, in 1966 their singer left to try an unsuccessful solo career and was replaced by a certain Camilo Blanes<\/strong>, thanks to whom they appeared in two movies and recorded great songs like ‘Eres un vago’. Three years later, this Blanes would be the idol of all of Spain and better known as\u2026 Camilo Sesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: For the sake of clarity, during the period in which Sheila Devil was known as Camilo Blanes Jr. or “Camilito” we have used the masculine form.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

After the Fifth and before the Seventh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although a whole generation knows him for the deliciously psychotronic ‘Mola mazo’, Camilo Sesto has to his credit authentic wonders like ‘Jesucristo Superstar’, ‘Vivir as\u00ed es morir de amor’ or ‘Sentimiento de amor’<\/strong>. Precisely the latter was recorded with a certain Camilo Michael Blanes, better known as “Camilito”. That is, his daughter, who currently goes by the name of Sheila Devil. Okay, we see your faces of bewilderment at the turn of events. We’d better start from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camilo Blanes Jr. was born on November 24, 1983<\/strong> from his father’s relationship with his “close friend” Lourdes Ornelas. But as we all know from the pink world<\/a>, Camilo Sesto was not a one-woman man (or a dozen, or a thousand, probably): after the breakup he got custody of his offspring and brought him to Spain, where he spent his entire adolescence. “I already have my son, and I don’t want to hide it for a second, I don’t want to hide my happiness,” the singer commented at the time. And of course, as a person glued to some loudspeakers and instruments, Camil\u00edn quickly grew up with the desire to make music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, however, father and son drifted apart and Ornelas took advantage of the occasion to get closer to him (reportedly even harassing him). Meanwhile, from Mexico, Camil\u00edn’s musical career never took off<\/strong>, partly because, despite his name, the boy was shy and reserved. The problem with having had success by your side all your life is that you are not able to value yourself properly and your achievements seem less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blanes went on to record an album<\/a> in 2014 titled ‘Es lo que siento’ with a record three songs ending in the word “Ti” (‘H\u00e1blame de ti’, ‘Para llegar a ti’ and ‘Yo sin ti’). Things as they are: it’s not a geek album in the style of Jesul\u00edn de Ubrique or Tamara, but a continuation of his father’s artistic style with a good trained voice<\/strong>. But, already in 2018, his few appearances in public let it be seen that he was not in good health, causing concern to grow in his environment. A year later, his father died, starting a spiral of decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
