EL SITIO DE MI RECREO -HOMENAJE A ANTONIO VEGA-
19 January -20:30h
Antonio Vega’s music has marked and continues to mark several generations who have turned his songs into authentic national anthems.
Through his songs, Antonio bared his soul and showed his sincerity to those who really wanted to listen and understand. The musician, protagonist of the Madrid movida of the 80s, put lyrics and music to the soundtrack of the lives of many Spaniards who have grown up dreaming of his songs.
Author of timeless lyrics and composer of unforgettable melodies, in the picture that Antonio left half finished, in the life he left half written, those gaps can only be drawn by those who knew him, loved him and accompanied him, like the musicians and colleagues who pay him this well-deserved tribute today in the form of a national tour, and who are none other than the members of his original band, accompanied by his close friends and collaborators Shuarma, Nacho Campillo, Teo Cardalda, and Anni B Sweet, who will sing his songs.
In his more than 30 years of composing, Antonio Vega left us authentic gems of music that, to this day, continue to shake hearts. Wait and enjoy some of the best songs you will ever hear, some sad, some melancholic, some bathed in an atom-splitting nostalgia, but all a firm reminder that – in the end – it’s not about the words you use but the way you use them. Wait, because Antonio Vega can make you smile offhandedly or astonish you three times a minute, but – in the same way – he can multiply your restlessness by a thousand, take you by the hand and lead you to places of snow, hurricane and abyss. He called it his playground and you can call it whatever you like, but don’t forget that with Antonio Vega the maxim he himself sang does not apply: “Today is enough, tomorrow is too much”.
