On Friday, May 17, at 21:30 am in Room Auditorium A Ana Belen El Batel present his album To the men I loved.
Tickets can be purchased at the Auditorium box office and Ticketmaster .
Public thanks to the generosity of January 4 men that at some point in my life I shared songs, laughter, uncertainties, hopes, joys and wisdom of those who believe in their work above all.
Ana Belén words printed in the booklet of the album reflect the breath that drives his new work to the men I loved, which was published on November 15, 2011 to break four years of silence, in which the artist sings, plays and 14 songs recreates his favorite composers.
Singing, interpret and recreate.
It's what makes Ana Belen with 14 emblematic songs, offering a new vision, a different emotion thrown through a unique voice in the Spanish scene and great job on the production and arrangements that put David San José issues that have come by law in the chapter of the classics in his own world, staff and recognizable.
In the universe of Ana Belén.
The songs and the authors of Men who loved are:
01 Under the bridge (Pedro Guerra) 02 Not alone (Miguel Rios) 03 I miss (Kiko Veneno) 04 The four and ten (Luis Eduardo Aute) 05 Canà § or of matinada (Joan Manuel Serrat) 06 A labor ( Antonio Vega) 07 The Band (Chico Buarque) 08 And yet (Joaquín Sabina) 09 The brief space that is not (Pablo Milanes) 10 Reasons (Juan Luis Guerra) 11 11 and 6 (Fito Paez) 12 May you go bonito (José Alfredo Jiménez) 13 Song for Carito (León Gieco) Song 14 small (Victor Manuel)
The album opens with Under the bridge, one of the highlights of the work of Pedro Guerra (I liked him in their first performances in Madrid, with that bold shyness and those songs gave me some wonderful?, Explains Ana Belén) to reflect the precision in the arrangements that runs to the men who loved and delicate voice ductility Ana Belén, able to take up the song respecting the original spirit.
Follow Not alone, which bears the signature of Miguel Rios (We shared many trips, dinners, laughter, ranting and, above all, the scene where he is king. Ã ‰ l has taught me to respect the liturgy out singing) and appears nightlife, air mixing pop, jazz and blues, to make way miss Kiko Veneno (Kiko was pure surrealism, those letters imposts and have nothing to do with its stark reality), which wraps of jazz-swing-boogie woogie-flavored '40s, echoes of The Andrew Sisters and excellent arrangements of metals.
Four and ten is one of the songs-icon Luis Eduardo Aute (In the early 70 had a lot of great songs and different from all you heard on the radio, they were waiting for someone to record it) and Ana Belén you turns around enriching harmonies and arrangements.
And a classic gives way to another or from matinada § Canà the first Joan Manuel Serrat (We shared so much? Families, travel, dancing, drinking, stages, partying?) In a recreation very personal and close to the spirit serratiano. A work is forced Antonio Vega (I have the good fortune of being involved in some projects in which he was also. Though we have not recorded anything together, the fact that Antonio was in this project was as if compartiese something with it) with lyrics by Antonio Gala and one of the strongest songs on the album, superbly played by Ana Belén, which has its counterpart in the bright agility of the band, one of the most universal songs by Chico Buarque de Holanda (With Chico Buarque discovered another way to make music . Adoré A band since I heard) that maintains its Brazilian flavor, lively and streetwise.
And yet it is the work of Joaquin Sabina (I gave emblematic songs that I seared) and Ana Belen takes her to his land with great agility on a version, different and original. Pablo Milanes (We met in Havana in 1976, at home, over a bottle of rum and shared many moments with him and his people) gives the brief space that is not, another gem that opens intimate and Ana overboard in one of the great creations of the album. Reasons Juan Luis Guerra is (was Shrimp, large shrimp, who joined us Juan Luis and me. was for the record I am a Gypsy and conuco Love Song was lucky to sing the two) and immersed in personalized latinidad by arrangements with Ana Belén and choirs plan very 4:40 sonera.
Holing the end of the album, 11 and 6 is composed by Fito Paez (I remember one night at the San Sebastian Film Festival, where he presented his first film as a director. Ended at dawn in a ballroom at the Hotel Maria Cristina, Fito the piano and singing as possessed) and Ana Belen gets it look brand new, as I hope you go nice bears the signature of José Alfredo Jiménez (All sing at home and how little we knew of the author of many of those songs. Pity not to have known) and escapes of orthodoxy ranchera with an arrangement almost minimal, imaginative, while Ana sings within the canons of the genre.
A superb version that leads to Song for Carito of Leon Gieco (León me so much with a song? Only ask of God is a hymn that speaks of Leon, their commitment, their solidarity) with inspiration folkloric rich some passages.
And to close, small Song Victor Manuel (All this work and my music career so many years had not existed without Victor), one of those great songs hidden by its author and one of the great achievements of album by Ana excited approach Bethlehem.
A Are the songs of men I loved, recorded in Madrid with posh musicians.
Among them, Ovidio Lopez (guitars), Javier Saiz (bass), Ángel Crespo (drums), David San José (production, arrangements, piano, keyboards), Amado Zulueta (percussion), Santi Ibarretxe (flute), Antonio Ximénez ( trumpet, flugelhorn), Bob Sands (tenor sax), Norman Hogue (trombone), Andreas Prittwitz (piccolo) and Javier Casado (accordion).
Along with Ana Belén, have all contributed to create an album that gives us a new reading of important songs, tall, treated with great respect but providing different visions involving a voice and a heart that transformed without altering the soul that saw birth.
Ana's new in Bethlehem, the public thanks to some of the many fine writers who have marked a career that in 2007 was awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts, an award given by the Ministry of Culture to those who excel in the various fields of art.
The musical biography of Ana Belén is the story of a long and fruitful career that began in 1965 with the songs of the film Zampo and I and continued with basic disks as popular Flying Dove (1976), By the way (1977), with hands full (1980), Anna in Rio (1982), Gemini (1984), To the tenderness always time (1986), In the shadow of a Lion (1988), Rose of love and fire (1989), Poison the heart (1993), Look (1997), Fish City (with which he was nominated for the 2002 Latin Grammy for Best Female Solo) Live l Italy (2003), A song brought me here (2005) and Anatomy ( 2007, I also Latin Grammy nominee for Best Female Pop Album Ã).
Albums he always marked by great songs that now have natural continuation Men who loved because, writes Ana Belén in the booklet of the album, listening to this job? Assails me the picture and the words of Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named desire: I have always depended on the kindness of strangers ¿.
I say: I have always relied on the generosity of my men ¿.
