Miguel Soler passed away this Thursday in Palma at the age of 86, leaving a profound legacy as a leading figure in radio and musical culture in the Balearic Islands. Soler was a key figure in the emergence of new sounds in the 1960s, and his career at Radio Mallorca and in print media influenced generations of listeners and readers. Born in Murcia on March 16, 1939, Soler moved to Mallorca at a young age, where he made the island his home and built a journalistic and radio career that made him an icon of popular culture. In the early 1960s, with the arrival of modern music, he began his time at Radio Mallorca, where he presented programs that introduced artists and styles previously unknown to the general public in the Balearic Islands.
