This year, Noches del Botánico opens to the city of Madrid and involves the concert halls in #NochesdelBotánicoClub. From the hand of Cervezas Alhambra we present three exclusive performances of international music figures.
The child prodigy of Brazilian music, -María Gadú- as she was known at the beginning of her career, has found her own voice. In 2016 she made her debut in Madrid in a performance at Changó Live that many still remember. Her successful YouTube videos and the sponsorship of the great Caetano Veloso have marked the career of a Brazilian artist who, in recent times and without renouncing the voice and guitar pairing, has opened up to rock and even electronic sounds. One of the best musical events of the Madrid summer.
A guitar prodigy from an early age, Julian Lage is a restless and curious musician by birth who has never stopped experimenting and growing since the moment Carlos Santana shared the stage with him (see video below) and assured him that the future was in his hands. As devoted to Jim Hall as to Pat Metheny, Julian Lage has been able to create his own path by experimenting with pop stars like Nels Cline or avant-garde jazz stars like John Zorn. Musicians such as Gary Burton and Herbie Hancock himself have recognised his prodigious technique and his boundless passion for music and for an instrument like the guitar, from which he extracts unique sonorities. A new record of his is always a world open to new horizons.
The Colombian singer is "reborn" in a seductive and sweet way, renewing the American music scene with her own sound and musical reminiscences reminiscent of Lhasa de Sela, Chavela Vargas, Calexico or Howe Gelb. The singer and composer Sol Escobar (Cali, Colombia) presents her first work as a music producer: La Dama Escobar. A work that transports us to another era through Mexican ranchera, 60s surf guitars, Anglo-Saxon folk and the theatricality of 40s tango. Sol Escobar is a heartbreaking artist and renovator of the American music scene with her own sound and musical reminiscences reminiscent of Lhasa de Sela, Chavela Vargas, Calexico or Howe Gelb, making the hair stand on end every time she injects her scorned melodies with great theatrical dexterity. The rebirth of the artist has never been so seductive and sweet as that of this singer who reveals herself to her own past to let us live with her the adventure of starting over.
