FELIP CARBONELL AND THE GREAT SPANISH POETS




On Saturday the 7th March 2020, exactly two years after the start of this project, singer songwriter and composer, Felip Carbonell will deliver chapter four of his series of concerts dedicated to the Hispanic poets and songwriters.

Having performed three unique concerts prior to this, La Nueva Trova Cubana (#1), Chile y Argentina (#2) and Boleros de Mexico y Cuba (#3), Felip will introduce us this time to the poetry of The Great Spanish Poets of the 20th Century. The big names of Antonio Machado, Rafael Alberti and Federico García Lorca have always attracted a plethora of songwriters and composers from different parts of the world to explore their poems and compose music for them. 

This concert will feature a small selection of the works of these and other poets -all of them in Spanish - put to music by mainly Joan Manuel Serrat and Paco Ibáñez, two of the Spanish songwriters that influenced Felip’s early years as a musician.

The relaxed format of this concert will continue giving the audience the opportunity to interpret the meaning of the lyrics as well as the social and political factors involving the poets’ lives, and will include explanations and questions and answers in English (or Spanish if desired). 

Once again in collaboration with the Sligo Spanish Society, for the fourth chapter of this cycle, Felip will be accompanied by his NoCrows colleagues, guitarist Ray Coen and cellist Anna Houston.

The performance will take place in the Yeats Building, Hyde Bridge, Sligo on Saturday, 7th March at 8 pm sharp with €10 tickets available at the door which will include a glass of wine.

Jorge trabaja de portero en su edificio, y cuida de su padre enfermo, pero tiene ilusiones más grandes. Cuando su hermano, Antonio, sale de la cárcel, le pide a Jorge algo que le va a cambiar la vida para siempre. Historias triangulares y dilemas de hoy se entremezclan en lo que parece ser el destino     de Jorge, un chico que luchará por lo que quiere, y no por lo que debe. Azuloscurocasinegro es una película divertida, atrevida, conmovedora, que nos muestra la importancia de la amistad, y todas las complicaciones que pueden causar la familia y el amor.
