To realise the uniqueness and idiosyncrasy of SALAZAR, you just have to think on how far away their two components are: when listening to the fruit of this joint venture, it clearly appears that the 1,000 km between Salamanca and Sant Feliu de Guíxols are no obstacle to such an unusual chemistry. Bego Salazar’s voice, so telluric and full of “quejíos”, descends deep into old land’s bowels.

 

Xavi Lloses’ neo-romantic and minimalist piano builds hypnotic, highly sophisticated landscapes, with an unexpected spectrum between electric avant-garde and sound art. Like a kind of anger, Salazar’s forceful speech empowers you, dazzles chiaroscuri, and shakes your soul while being your most tender lover.
