Abstract

In 1,2,3, al escondite inglés (1970) Iván Zulueta narrates the desire of a group of young people to disrupt the "Song Festival of MundoCanal" (a Eurovision parody). To do this, he surrounds himself with musical performances by the main bands of the Spanish "modernity" of the moment, such as Los Angeles or Formula V, among others. The film shows, beyond the alternative music of the time, images, gestures and dialogues that help us find the defining lines of what we can call underground culture during the Franco regime. In this article we try to deepen the meaning of some of these dialogues (mostly jocular), as well as the image that is offered of the different musical formations and the characters of the story, to recognize the countercultural attitudes that marked a culture submitted by a hegemonic ideology, the Francoist, in a city in which little could be expected the development of a counterculture, as was Madrid.
