Andrés Calamaro He declared with some sarcasm that "I have a musical career in spite of myself" in a recent interview, now that the excesses of the past seem forgotten. The Argentine returns to Madrid tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd, at the Teatro Circo Price within the Los Veranos de la Villa program, to reissue again a night like the one he lived in May. Those who attend will find few differences beyond a small variation in the repertoire with respect to that appointment, in which it will be their third performance in the Spanish capital in less than a month-
"I always miss Madrid, I have a house here and I like to live like a Madrilenian, although right now the summer is a bit overwhelming and seeing pictures of people on vacation in magazines makes me sick."
Calamaro assures that it is difficult for him "to remember which album each song is on", so in his live shows he does not discriminate if something he plays belongs to his stage with Los Rodríguez or alone. Of course, "we did not play anything that was recorded in the 80s," he warns about his beginnings with Los Abuelos de La Nada. In Madrid, as he has been doing in recent weeks in several appearances throughout the Spanish geography, will present the album he released last fall, 'Bohemio', recently reissued with a film, which is "a darker, more explicit and obscure autobiographical fiction" that uses its background music and in which its character is assumed by an actress.
He assures that he does not like "too much" to present albums, promote them or "submit them to anyone's judgment." In this sense, he quotes Frank Zappa - "talking about music is like dancing about architecture" -. «I don't know if the public expects too much from me or too little. Or music criticism. I honestly don't know ... I think it's the others who long for a lost past, what weighs on me is the responsibility of singing always inspired, "he says. «There will always be young people who maintain that I did not write anything good after Los Abuelos de la Nada or« Brutal Honesty »(1999). I don't trust opinions, nobody matters. Rock has something ridiculous, it is inevitable to admit it ».
