Su Garrido will offer an intimate and warm concert, accompanied by her guitar and effects pedals in which she will sing songs from her latest album, Patios de luz, released at the end of 2022, where the protagonists are the neighbours, the community, the common space, the emigration from the countryside to the city, the orchards, the patios and the light.
“The road that led from the villages to the city, from the countryside to the back patios, had more than a hundred curves, it was the road that my neighbours, our grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, left. That we left too. The back patios (Patios de luz) are the back parts, where the things that do not want to be shown are hidden, where the clothes are hung, they are not even painted, they are the opposite of the facades. The patios of light (or back patios) are our theatres.”
