AMNIÒTIC CONCERTS @ AUDITORI DEL C.A.T.

Next Thursday 17th may, I’ll play in Gracia, my dear neighborhood, in one of my favorite places! We’ll make two Amniòtic Records concerts: Ferran Palau and me. It’s going to be a great night…You can’t miss it!

BERLIN >> MADRID >> BARCELONA

After two weeks playing outside I'm back home! First I played three concerts in Berlin, all filled with very nice audience. Then I went to Madrid where I played for the first time! I was invited to the program Hoy Empieza Todo in Radio3 for an interview and I played some songs, and I also recorded a concert for TVE (Conciertos de Radio3) with a very nice piano, and finally I played my concert in Fotomatón, which was really full of grateful people!

In may I’ll have many more concerts in Catalonia, I’m very excited about all of them, and on the 31th I'll play in Italy for the first time! Specially I want to announce the concert of the 17th may in Barcelona, in the Auditorium of C.A.T. Not only because I’ll play in my neighborhood (feeling more at home than ever!), also because before me, is going to play Ferran Palau presenting his new album. The tickets are already on sale…It’s going to be a great night!

Thank you all, this tour is being very nice!

THANK YOU!!! / 17th may: new concert in Barcelona

Yesterday we presented my album “Magnòlia” at the Petit Palau in Barcelona! We spent a wonderful night with a crowded place. I’m very grateful to everybody to fill up the auditorium with so beautiful atmosphere!

For all of you who missed it or for those of you who want to repeat we announce a new concert in Barcelona, for the 17th may, at the C.A.T.'s Auditorium. It’s going to be a double concert night, because before me is going to play Ferran Palau (from Anímic) with his band, presenting his new and beautiful first solo album.

The advanced tickets will be on sale next week. This is going to be also a wonderful night…We hope to see you there!

You can see new dates announced for the tour just HERE!

I RELEASE THE SECOND MUSIC VIDEO FOR MAGNÒLIA!

Here it is. The song is called “Bosc Adormit” (“Sleepy Forest”). The routine looked from the outside, which makes your feel even more lonely, insignificant and dispensable. And the routine looked from the inside, which often disguise these fears.

BY THE YEAR-END: "DINS MAGNÒLIES" ("Within Magnolias")

                                                                                                     Maria Coma image by using the technique of linoleum

Looking back at this past year I realize all the things I’ve learned and everything that has given me from all the wonderful people around me, friends and family. Looking to 2012 I believe that we’ll already do something to make it a wonderful year too!

After a great Christmas day with the family, which ended up singing together, I could not help remembering this feeling of my song “Dins Magnòlies”, in which a few friends sing in chorus in the living room. That’s why, on this day, the post dedicated to one of the songs of my album is for: Dins Magnòlies [Listen here]

I couldn’t sing this song alone, I didn’t make it for this… on the contrary! I asked a few friends to come and sing with me.

It is a mantra, a phrase that is repeated, sung by many people in the living room. We ended up screaming and singing canon. The quartet, double bass, guitar, piano, friends… we’re all together there. A phrase that reminds us that all those good times we’ve been through, they’re never able to remove, no matter what happens.

Here it is the translation of the short lyric: "Within magnolias we got lost, under a thousand stars we laughed, thanks to all this, no one will ever take from us what we were."

HAPPY 2012 TO EVERYONE!

CONCENTRATED TO REHEARSE IN THE MOUNTAINS… AND THE FIRST 20 DATES FOR THE THOUR!

We’ve already published the first 20 dates of the “Magnòlia” tour! You can see it here: MAGNOLIA TOUR.

Last week we went 5 days to La Guàrdia, to rehearse with the band, where we were able to concentrate very well. It was great to spend some days in such good company, between nature, silence, beautiful scenery and why not say, eating as well! But above all, be able to play with them, which is a pleasure.

Now I’m eager to start the concerts and that you can see us live!

TOMORROW WE'LL CLOSE PAU VALLVÉ'S TOUR

Tomorrow is the last concert tour presenting “2010”, Pau Vallvé’s album.

It really has been a great pleasure to be playing with him this past year, accompanying him on the keyboards, percussion and vocals.

Not only because we had great times together and we continued touring (we had already came from the tour with my album "Linoleum"!). Also because he is one of the best musicians I know and for me has been a great learning experience, among other things, to be doing a role, in part, fairly new to me.

At the same time that we’re closing this tour, we’re opening a new one on January. This time it is my tour, where I'll be presenting my new album "Magnolia" in which Pau will be my drummer.

Thank you very much for this last year showing music so beautiful!
