A recital and dialogue that celebratres the World Book Day through music and poetry in Spanish.
Singer and composer Soleá Morente and writer Alejandro Simón Partal broaden and blur the boundaries between song and poem, the lines between verse and lyrics. Accompanied on the guitar by Rubén Campos, both authors will present their most intimate readings and songs, their good things.
In Soleá Morente, several paths converge: some come from pop, others from flamenco, others from rock. The daughter of the master and renovator of flamenco, Enrique Morente, and the dancer Aurora Carbonell, her first intervention on a record was at the age of six. She has been a guest singer with Los Evangelistas, her sister Estrella Morente or Pitingo, Maga, among others. In 2015, she culminated her debut with the album Tendrá que haber un camino, surrounding herself with friends such as La Bien Querida, Los Planetas, Lagartija Nick, Lori Meyers or Pájaro Jack, to sing verses by Machado, Lorca and Leonard Cohen. Since 2018, with the release of "Ole Lorelei", her music became more eclectic (funk, R&B). She has received important and numerous awards.
Alejandro Simón Partal (Estepona, 1983) has published works in theatre, novel, essay, and poetry. With Una buena hora (Visor, 2019), his fifth book of poems, he won the International Poetry Prize Hermanos Argensola and with La fuerza viva (Pre-Textos, 2017) the Arcipreste de Hita Prize. With his first novel, La parcela (Caballo de Troya, 2021), he won the Cálamo Prize Another Look. He has just published Ese de anoche (Aguilar, 2023), an anthology that gathers a selection of his poetic work.
Rubén Campos (Granada) is a regular guitar player with Soleá Morente. He has accompanied renowned artists such as Marina Heredia or Antonio Canales. Campos is currently recording his second studio album.
