As singer-songwriter The how actor, Zenet It is known among us. Whether through his solo albums, in which he reveals his soul, or in series like Chopped which can be seen in Netflix. But she had never come to Argentina to sing. before the show that the October 4 at Niceto Club (Niceto Vega 5510, CABA). So, when the opportunity comes to interview him via Zoom, it is the first thing he is asked, why did you take so long?

For me it’s like deja vu, a memory that never existed -explains from Madrid-. Among the circumstances that explain this is being part of an independent company, which is what I chose, so it is very difficult to go to the other side of the pond. But now we are opening a path for a first performance in Buenos Aires (on October 4 at Niceto Club) so that we can then go next year and do more provinces. And that’s also why I’m going with a very small, very intimate lineup. I have called the show Amor a Tres and it will be a walk through my entire discography. Something close to jazz, because Machado’s trumpet gives us that special sound that somehow takes us to that color palette. Our live structure plays with that, a part in which the song is recognized very well and another in which we allow ourselves to improvise in such a way that at some point in this journey the audience does not know what is going to happen. And that seems very interesting to me because for me it has that vibe of being close to the precipice of free fall.”

It is also inevitable to ask How does he manage to combine acting with music? and with total sincerity he answers: “The truth is that, for some time now, acting work has been secondary in my life because music rules the agenda. Fortunately, over time I can choose the roles I play and I stay a little away from the first line of interpretation. This way I can decide, if there is a role that interests me and for which they are going to ask me 20 days of work, whether to take it or not. The last one I filmed was in the Canary Islands playing the character of Doctor Ross in a new version of Zorro. AND I handle it very well. After making Young Picasso and The Border Law with Federico Luppi, I got very bored waiting a year for the next work and I began to generate it myself from music. And for me it was a pleasure to work with Luppi, whom I admire very much and with whom I had the opportunity to walk through the streets of Santiago de Compostela, chat while we ate good meat or fish, ask him about his films, his life, what He would talk about his family, his land, because that opportunity is only given to you by a job like that. “I have a thousand anecdotes to tell about Federico.”

And adds: “This is how I became an independent artist instead of looking for a multinational that would force me to do what they want. And I found El Volcán Música a style compatible with my profile. Maybe because inhe lyrics of my songs I have always been close to the figure of the crazy poetthe drunk in the corner of the bar who writes on a dirty napkin that he keeps in his pocket and then retrieves it torn apart to get three or four sentences. Sometimes I talk about love as an excuse to talk about life. Every day I am more convinced that love is a good excuse to talk to you about my own laziness, about what one day I wanted to do and have not yet achieved, talk to you about lost dreams, about that part of me that I don’t like, about the anger that made me regret it later, that word that I would like to say to you, I have not told you and now you are no longer here to say it to you. All of this doesn’t just talk about love, love is an excuse to talk about the human condition and that’s why I think people, when they listen to my songs, feel very identified. You feel stuck in what happens or it hasn’t happened to you but I would face it if it happened to you.”

Fortunately and in a short time we will have the opportunity to finally see him live, to hear from his mouth If it happens, it is convenient; All the streets or Dreaming of you, accompanied by the trumpeter Manuel Machado y Dayan Abad on Spanish guitar. Antonio Mellado, we are waiting! Welcome!
