79 years ago, Farrokh Bulsara, later known as Freddie Mercury, was born in Zanzibar, Tanzania. His life journey from Africa to London changed the history of rock music.
From his childhood in Indian boarding schools he showed a flair for music and the visual arts. The piano was his first creative refuge and his gateway to the stage.
In London in the 1960s, at the age of twenty, she found an explosive environment. There she began to fuse cultural influences, her mixed-race identity and an inimitable voice.
With Queen he broke new ground. His show concept went beyond the music: costumes, graphic symbols and staging conceived as a theatrical whole.
He died in 1991, but his legacy remains. Each anniversary reaffirms that Mercury was not just a singer, but an unrepeatable creator capable of transcending generations and borders.
