Departures of note

Eduardo Rodríguez Rodway was a Spanish guitarist and singer, best known as a founding member of Triana, the Seville band that created Andalusian rock by fusing progressive rock with flamenco. Born in Seville in 1945, he began performing as a teenager and played in early Sevillian rock groups including Flexor's and the rumba-pop group Los Payos, whose 1969 hit 'María Isabel' became one of the decade's biggest songs in Spain.

In 1974 he co-founded Triana with singer and keyboardist Jesús de la Rosa and drummer Juan José Palacios 'Tele'. Over the next decade the trio released acclaimed albums such as El Patio, Hijos del agobio, Sombra y luz and Un encuentro, becoming one of the most important and influential bands in Spanish rock history and selling millions of records. Rodríguez composed songs on every Triana album except the debut and contributed vocals as well as guitar.

After the band dissolved following de la Rosa's death in 1983, Rodríguez released two solo albums, Velo de amor (1986) and Noche y día (1987), and later co-wrote the book Triana. A través del aire. He spent his later years in Los Caños de Meca, Cádiz, and died in Puerto Real on 26 September 2026 at the age of 81, the last surviving member of Triana's original lineup.
