The Madrid singer arrives at the end of the tour of 'A blond man', an album dedicated to the absent figure of her father
Christina Rosenvinge (Madrid, 1964) confesses that she is in an "incredibly sweet moment". In the last decade, since he published Tu lip superior (2008), he has established himself as an indie cult singer-songwriter who, at the same time, connects with the general public. A good example of this is his latest album, A Blond Man , whose tour comes to an end after two years filling theaters throughout Spain.
In this last work you reflect on the figure of his father, why did he choose that theme? The death of the father is one of the common experiences we all have. When talking about mine, I do that of all parents. Those who have gone through that process can connect, it becomes something universal. I tried to decipher the mystery of my absent father when I was commissioned to write a flamenco romance. To document myself I went to look for his record collection, he was very fond of. That's how I started a dialogue with a ghost: he died when I was very young, I still hadn't faced that memory. The album proposes a generational dialogue, which reaches my children. In an interview it has long been defined as "a lonely runner", do you still feel the same? In a way, yes. I have not been part of a generation, I have not had support. The good thing is that when you don't belong to anything, you don't die when the fashions happen, you don't sink with the others. I have always moved on the margins of the industry, trying to trace a career along a road that is unpaved. There are very few cases like mine. Why do you say so? Because there aren't many women who have been in music for so long. We should worry about what happens to artists after motherhood. When they have children, they often interrupt their careers, we get lost along the way. Reconciliation is difficult in any profession, but especially in music, because it involves many trips. It is difficult to justify these continuous absences to your environment. And why does not the same happen to men? That is the problem, women are required to have a different role. In the music industry, if you get out of the car, it is difficult to get back up. Parenting interrupts all races. If you have chosen to have children, you fuck. That is the reasoning of the people. How have your circumstances been? If I have managed to have a career and children it is in spite of all that. Virginia Woolf talked about the importance of using oneself. I made it from a young age, thanks to my songs. I was lucky, several years in which I did very well: I could buy a house, not depend on anyone financially, have that security and a structure that allowed me to take artistic risks.According to the criteria of
