Conference: Juan José Téllez From Vicente Espinel to young singers-songwriters: verses and strings
The complex personality of Vicente Espinel, his dedication to music and poetry,
from the fifth string of the vihuela to the transformation of the ‘décima,’ give us the
opportunity to travel across the centuries following the interaction between verse
and harmony. This talk ranges from Espinel’s own musical and literary biography to
his influences on Cuban improvisers, the new Chilean song, or the group “guasa
decimal”. His legacy brings together, through a tool as useful as a WhatsApp
group, authors as diverse as Jorge Drexler, Alexis Díaz Pimienta, Rozalén, Pedro
Guerra, Javier Ruibal, Toni Zenet, Raúl Rodríguez, Nano Stern, among others.
