The Madrid artist Vicente Navarro He published his new single, “Gañanada” a few days ago, a song in which Navarro experiences with his music intertwining tradition and electronics.
Within an already very recognizable personal line as a representative of the Spanish neofolchlore, the artist opts this time for a tradition of a traditional songbook. In fact, with “Gañanada”, he reviews a traditional song from La Mancha and Madrid, a “courtship story wrapped in an aura of darkness, and with a kind of loving teaching explained with a vocabulary of a traditional songbook.”
Now, if the original theme rose on a Spanish guitar, this time Navarro takes his music to another level, experimenting with a melancholic electronics that combines synthesizers, electric guitar and a leaked voice through vocoder. With this new piece, Vicente Navarro underlines its name among the drivers of the current neo-poloric trend, combining the urban, the electronic and the musical tradition without altering the original lyrics.
The song comes after its version of Paco Clavel, “The TWist of the bus,” released weeks ago.
