LOC Enrique Bunbury: the woman and daughter who welcome him when he gets off the stage
Enrique Bunbury
already knows
what forced him to withdraw from the stage
a year ago due to throat problems, which prevented him from singing live, and forced him to cancel the tour.
After undergoing various tests, the diagnosis of his voice problems is none other than
glycol
, since
he suffers from intolerance to this synthetic liquid substance
that absorbs water and is used in the 'smoke' that is released in performances.
This is how he explained it in an interview with
The Associated Press , which
Heraldo de Aragón
reported this Sunday
, on the occasion of the release of the song
Invulnerables
, the first advance single from an
album that will be released on May 26
.
The former leader of
Héroes del Silencio
explains that "by the second concert of the tour I already began to have clear problems, the problems were mainly at night,
I had a compulsive cough that would not let me sleep and it destroyed my throat
and
I had a sensation in lungs like sand
, from having breathed dust".
He adds that "the big question for me was why it happened to me when I was on stage, I made records and rehearsed and sang in my studio and sang for others, I was doing collaborations and I never had any problem, only on stage".
Covid-19, pollution, stage fright, everything was going through his mind.
After multiple tests and specialist attention,
it was discovered that she had developed an intolerance to a chemical
present in most smoke effects used on stage, called glycol.
In the aforementioned interview, Bunbury
acknowledges that "it has been quite a traumatic
and frustrating time for me, which somehow I have saved thanks to creation."
He explains that "the new album is a bit the result of putting all these traumas and this regret into songs and saving myself from the psychologist.
What is a greater relief is knowing what is happening to you
, that's the first thing. For a long time I was living with total ignorance of what was happening to me".
Likewise, he values the importance of concerts in his communication with the public.
"
I had the pain of feeling that this distance from the public could mean telling that link
that exists in communication with people, because a concert is not a mere promotional act. It is a moment of communication with people who have lived and felt your songs" .
REAPPEARS A YEAR LATER
A year later, Bunbury has returned with a new album, from which he has advanced the video clip of one of the songs entitled
Invulnerables
, and with a second book of poems.
She has explained that, "although the song is called
Invulnerables
, in some way
it speaks of the vulnerability of the individual alone
and of what we gain with another, of all that we grow and of what we can achieve".
The song, recorded in Mexico and
produced by Adan Jodorowsky
, marks
a new stage in the musical career
of the singer from Zaragoza, as he changes producers, the musicians who accompany him and even his manager.
His many followers have enthusiastically received these new Bunbury projects, as can be seen on social networks, to the point that they are excited about his possible return to the stage.
In the video, directed by his partner Jose Girl and by the filmmaker Sergio Abuja,
the singer is accompanied by the new band that accompanies him
, after breaking up with Los Santos Inocentes, and with which he recorded the new album: Adan Jodorowsky on bass , Raoul Chichin on guitar, Victor Mechanick on keyboards and Guillo Morales Vitola on drums.
The album has been recorded in the Desierto Casa Estudio on the outskirts of Mexico City and, according to Bunbury himself, he has pursued an "analogical and nostalgic" sound.
The question that his followers ask is
if he will offer a concert again
.
He has not revealed his plans, but when he announced his withdrawal, many thought that although he was not going to embark on tours, perhaps he would offer a concert at special moments.
The release of the new album could give rise to this.
Likewise, Bunbury
has written a second collection of poems
entitled
MicroDosis
, edited by Cántico.
With a confessional tone, it is a diary written in the last two years in which she decided to "experience in her consciousness the ingestion of microdoses of psilocybin", hallucinogenic mushrooms.
In the prologue,
Vicente Gállego
explains the theme of the collection of poems: "Of that extinction of oneself in the cosmic amplitude, of those interior journeys where the familiar becomes unacceptable and the prodigious dawns to its prodigality, the pages of this book written to us speak to us. pants removed, but full of affection for everything, including the always vain spectacle of this world".
