EL KANKA IN CONCERT, tour: 'Things of the living'. EL BATEL

The singer-songwriter El Kanka has become a great reference in the national musical field. His latest album, 'Cosas de los vivos', is the Malaga native's fifth album. In March, the artist began the tour with this latest work, with which he is traveling throughout Spain and has also made the leap to Latin America.

 

It is his most complete and sincere work, in which he has opted for an old-fashioned compositional process together with his musicians in rehearsals, for a production without artifice, and lyrics that continue to delve into the everyday, always with the particular narrative of El Kanka and his personal stamp on music.

'Things of the Living' is a title that, according to El Kanka himself , brings together the themes of the 14 songs that make up the album and that talk about different themes, but all of them are everyday and in which anyone can feel like they are representing: “A dead man.” He doesn't feel, he doesn't have a stomach ache, he doesn't suffer from heartbreak or the flu, he doesn't eat hamburgers or listen to music. The living do, fortunately or unfortunately, suffer, enjoy and watch TV. So nothing, this is a collection of things that happen to the living, of experiences and reflections.” And he adds: “In some songs I show myself as I am and in others as I want to be; They deal with friendship, nostalgia, death, love, future projects and the shadows of the past, I make fun of the 'opinologists' and, sometimes, I just let the verb flow."
