His parents escaped from Franco's dictatorship into Paris, that's why he lived so long there. His family is from Galicia and the Basque Country, hence why he sings in Spanish.
Yeah, to my understanding he tried to move his previous band Mano Negra to Madrid, but that was shortly before it broke up for good — and with this solo album he finished production in Paris again.
My understanding is that I read part of his Wikipedia page so you are probably more informed than me haha
Perhaps only in that I've read slightly further.
