Yes, it was true, as the authors announced. Several worlds, but not only musical ones, came together in the inaugural concert of the IX Paco de Lucía International Guitar Meeting through music, of course, fusing disparate styles and resources that serve as a channel for the expression of experiences of the three artists united on stage, the man from Algeciras boy valdiviathe Moroccan Faisal Kourrich and the Grenadian Antonio Campos.
A start with energy, in Being, like all birth, always attached to the skin. It is difficult, if not impossible, to give surnames to the entire set of sounds. In this show there is music, with many ingredients, and it sounds Arabic -soaked in the notes of Faiçal’s violin-, of course, and flamenco -the cante is by Antonio Campos-, but they stand out or mix among others melodies, with well measured percussion. In fact, the measure of all the ingredients is balanced on this path towards the personal interior.
Suddenly the sound piano, in the hands of Chico Valdívia, with the voice of Faiçal Kourrich, and later the cante of Antonio Campos. It is life that begins to take its steps, when the breakneck pace of the days that follow, and here they all sound with joy.
There are moments, as Chico Valdivia also announced, when music reminds Pat MethenyIt’s true, especially with him at the piano. And suddenly the clarinet sounds, marking hope, like Faiçal’s violin that follows it.
The public shared the trip he proposes The Aralorak Project inside the being, because soul tones It is a personal journey that flows from within its musical director, Chico Valdivia, who marks his career through many beginnings. Chico opened the first edition of the Paco de Lucía Meeting with Salvador Andrades, as he has opened other shows and musical works. It has been in good stews as the first local production that reopened the Florida theater reformed, the tribute in Algeciras in life to Paco de Lucía, the guitars to the sky when the brilliant countryman died, has proclaimed the Royal Fair of Algeciras and has helped other preachers, or has organized and participated in events such as Algeciras sounds like Paco.
There are precedents in Andalusian music that are similar to this multiple proposal that Valdivia, Campos and Kourrich present to us. Perhaps we should go back to the records of Independent Qualified Magnetwhich mixed Brazilian, Indian, rock melodies, although in this case he was more inclined towards Arabic musical influences.
That journey to the interior of the being, which begins in the birth, in the encounter with the mother, who later questions herself and enters into a crisis when fear invades the person when her belonging to the group is questioned, her way of being, who crosses the desert in search of her, in four parts that contain shadows, in the moments of coexistence with the fear to feel the pain until the pain becomes the solution, it ends in the composition My child, the inflection of the show, with the bass and the piano leading the way. It is the moment in which “the adult enters the innocent and lively heart of the child he abandoned, to embrace and care for him.” This is how the musician Chico Valdivia and the writer from Algecira conceived it Emy Luna, and so it is. Luna is the person who devised the meeting that has been achieved in The Aralorak Project.
The man from Algecira played for the first time with Faiçal in Madrid, in a show that danced To the Wolves, and they both improvised very well. The two later coincide playing for Diana Navarroartist with whom he later works Antonio Campos. “Diana is like a jury. She has done everything she proposes, be it flamenco, copla, opera, television programs… And she has done everything very well”, emphasizes Chico Valdivia, who also coincided with Antonio Campos on a tour with the artist from Malaga. “He is a musician who is very open to influences, wherever they come from: Pavarotti, Miles Davis, flamenco…”, he says.
All the possible coincidences found by the musicians gathered in The Aralorak Project they get noticed. The man from Algecira knows how to give his place to the people with whom he works, take a generous step back if he proceeds. soul tones It is a very good sample of the diversity of the gathered artists and of the person of Chico Valdivia as a support for the confluence and coexistence of all.
soul tones has started his crossing in Algecirasand surely new ports are waiting for you to call at.
