[1] Adolfo "Fito" Cabrales was born on 6 October 1966 in the Zabala neighbourhood in Bilbao,[2] and spent part of his childhood and adolescence in Laredo, Cantabria, and Málaga.

After receiving professional treatment in a detoxification clinic, he clung to music as “his salvation, his guide in the midst of the storm”.

After this period of introspection and personal reconstruction, Fito y Fitipaldis released 'Cada Vez Cadáver', an album that reflects the emotional journey he has lived, and which was published in 2022.

[5] In 1989 he joined Iñaki Antón, Juantxu «Mongol» Olano and Jesús «Maguila» García, also from the same neighbourhood,[6] to form the rock and roll group Platero y Tú.

They maintained a close relationship with other important artists of their genre such as La Polla Records, Rosendo Mercado (who collaborated on Sin solución)[7] and especially with Roberto Iniesta, "Robe", voice and guitar from Extremoduro, with whom they went on a joint tour in 1996.
