Soloist: Julieta Venegas (Mexico) My closest friends ask me what you see? And I answer: his melancholy eyes, his body as delicate as a feather in the wind. And they insist: but do not find very thin, very flat? And I add: no. For me, close to perfection. It is as drawn by my emotional needs. It is the closest to my ideal. And they continue: but perhaps you know her? Suddenly a girl is undesirable. A vulgar that is more annoying than stone in the shoe. And I would argue: No. That never. His songs are so tender that I am sure, start with an interior of the same nature. I have no doubt that she is light and, through his music, sheds light. And they finally agree: you're in love to the core. And I notice, and will remain until the end of time.
Who talked? Of course, my darling Julieta Venegas, who only weeks ago, has presented its latest production, MTV Unplugged, which has started the most divided opinions and, in my trench rock critic, I am obliged to defend it ... sorry , a comment from the more neutral perspective. Let's start
.
The disk in question starts with lemon and salt, a piece that gave him title to his previous work. The sound that takes this song on the unplugged gives an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat will be the rest of the work. A neat work strings, winds measured, a sharp and precise xylophone, and drums so stylized that only provides vibrating cymbals and snare of soft rumble. Some details that make electric versions of salon music. A real joy for the ears. But as usual, unplugged over there highs and lows. In my opinion, among the highlights is Andar Conmigo, Julieta Venegas summarizes very clearly and briefly. Says, before starting to sing: "This song is a song that continues to direct and sincere love for those who feel and know when they can not change. " No need to give further explanation. Another outstanding track is one day. With a sound very playful curtain, where the focus is on flute, which seems huge jump between flowers, loose voice: "Someday maybe / I can tell you something / it is important / something done with wisdom ... meanwhile we are all in the same train / mistakes / and stepping wrong. " "Recognition of his youth and, therefore, his inexperience? Of course. Despite being a rock star with a reputation that is projected throughout the English-speaking world, knows he still has not accumulated a deep knowledge of things. In this self-analysis is not easily reached, as the ego of an artist, as usual oversized, prevents and nullifies. And who has done it, you have concluded that they will not have sharp ideas to offer, is a sign of intelligence. And finally, a piece specially sensitized me, and that, therefore, from my point of view escapes the common denominator is this: Illusion. Duetting with Marisa Montes, and ethereal string accompaniment, Juliet sings: "For it / did not know what to do / why I left / I do not know / I just know that I was / I did everything I wanted / why not let me try / to make her happy. " Who has ever sung a letter like that? Like most people, me too I was somebody. Why? Taking the words of Juliet, the only thing I can say is: I only know that I was. And point out
lows Venegas disk? No, no way. I leave that to its detractors. To my eyes and ears, she always has been, is and will be a chimerical beauty, an object of my giddy love. For someone who makes his poetic tenderness not only deserves admiration, but also love. And that's what does Julieta Venegas: your audience's unconditional love.
