Patti Smith will present tomorrow night Banga, his latest work, in the Cartagena Jazz Festival. The concert will be at 21.30 pm in the Auditorium and Congress Palace The Batel.
Tickets are 30 and 20 euros.
The rocker opened his Spanish tour at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao on Tuesday November 13.
Banga, described by critics as their best album since Horses, was produced by Patti Smith's own with the help of his usual musicians (bassist Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daugherty on drums and guitarist Lenny Kaye) and with the collaboration of musicians like Tom Verlaine of Television, Jack Petruzzelli and the children of the artist, Jesse Jackson and Paris.
It was recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios of Jimi Hendrix, partly with the same teams of Horses.
According to the promoters of the concert, the album is full of poetry, sung or spoken, sometimes both at once.
Topics include reflections on the environmental crisis, the domain of art as the greatest gift of man to divinity, tributes, eulogies, and love songs, all full of authority and tenderness.
The singer and poet Patti Smith rose to fame in 1975 with her ​​debut album, Horses, which contributed to the punk movement feminist point of view and intellectual.
From that album to his latest book, Just Kids, Patti Smith has articulated its own vision of the world and has become one of the most influential artists of the rock.
In fact, Rolling Stone magazine has placed it in 47th place on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.
