Rounded Songs – Canciones redondas<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today my latest musical work Rounded Songs – Canciones redondas <\/strong>has been published on digital platforms, Spotify and similar. Thus culminate two long years of intense work: the composition of the themes, the assembly with C\u00e1ntica Cuarteto, the recording, the mastering, the management of the release. The effort behind a record is endless, as many musicians are well aware. Finally, you put it on the market and expect the public to welcome it with benevolence.<\/p>\n

Rounded Songs – Canciones redondas<\/strong> is dedicated to Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca<\/strong>. Ten of his poems set to music with a style different from the usual ‘flamenco touch’ that pursues him. The sounds in this work dance between folk, classical music, contemporary, ethnic, singer-songwriter style … It has always been difficult to label my music, my music is simply me and in this case, also Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca.<\/p>\n

I feel quite suited to musicalize Lorca’s poems. On the one hand because his verses have always accompanied me, because I am from Granada and have breathed the same air as the poet. On the other hand, as a child, I played in a friend’s country house, which we called La Huerta. It was located a few hundred meters from La Huerta de San Vicente, in the fertile plain of Granada. Federico was an important part of that environment, a familiar and mythological presence.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful to my colleagues from La Reverie – C\u00e1ntica Cuarteto<\/strong>, for having helped me so much to dress these songs. Yolanda Campos<\/strong> has done a fantastic job with her voice and with the adaptation of the texts. Inma G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, in addition to her great skill with the flute, has been a constant stimulus, and without her encouragement we would never have finished the album. \u00c1ngel Mart\u00edn<\/strong>, with his percussions, has put color and life into the music.<\/p>\n

And last, but not least, my thanks to Marie Wohlfeil, my wife, for her support and for taking care of a lot of the hidden work: designs, management, and much more.<\/p>\n
