• MUSIC Pablo Alborán: "Of course I have flaws: I cross when they hurt me"

  • THE MADRID OF... Mario Casas: "Making food is a great way to relax"

Pablo Alborán (Málaga, May 31, 1989)

returns to his origins

.

"I feel very excited to be able to look my audience in the eye again. To finish a song, to be able to chat and even hug each other. I missed this spontaneity. Such a basic format is being fun and inspiring."

A

review of his 10 years of musical career

in theaters and auditoriums throughout Spain.

"Simplicity is where I come from and I've never done anything like that before. It reminds me of the shows in the

most dodgy clubs

that I gave in my beginnings."

Now the acoustics are marvelous in such emblematic auditoriums.

"And in a world that goes so fast it's very special. It allows you to slow down."

With the tour, he is giving him time to write a lot and study dramatic art.

"A brutal desire to compose with so much rehearsal has awakened in me. I am immersed in a moment of self-knowledge, and enjoying what I do a lot."

In the midst of a pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the man from Malaga

considers music a balm

, both for those who listen to it and for those who create it.

"Shutting myself up to

compose is healing

. A refuge to disconnect from everything that is being lived."

Personally, Alborán has helped by going to donation points, although he tiptoes over the private part and recognizes that artists do have a great role in raising awareness thanks to their public visibility.

"Whether you are known or not, you stop to think, and more so with a war so exposed. But

there are millions of conflicts in the world, it is not the only one

. You consider all the privileges you have: bread, a roof, hot water... On the other hand, I feel a certain fear of conformism, of people changing the channel. It is unpleasant to see these realities, but I consider that there is a lot of solidarity, the Spanish are very generous and I have seen it these days in the delivery of clothes and food, where there were long lines of people collaborating".

MADRID, A SECOND HOME

His two antidote concerts of so much horror in Madrid are held on March 22 and 28.

"I settled in this city when I started, a decade ago, and it has always been a luxury to live here. Making the National Auditorium is very exciting, a dream I have always had", he confesses.

He recognizes that he feels like a "citizen of the world", because with a French mother, born in Morocco, and a father from Malaga raised in Madrid, he has a very important family mix.

But, yes:

"Madrid hugs you tight".

"Contrary to what people think," he says, it is easy to find the singer on the street.

"I go out a lot and

live the same life as always, with my gang and little group that messes with you

. Madrid shares that with Malaga, I'm from there and I have to say it, it's a place where you let yourself go and surprise. That's it! the best, get lost!".

THE PERFECT WEEKEND

His ideal plan starts on a Friday afternoon.

"With

a beer in the Plaza de las Descalzas

and go through that whole area, which I love, end up on a terrace and let life take you".

On Saturday she would go to a cinema, "but one of the mythical ones", she clarifies, and always "in the original version, with popcorn and chocolate".

THE LUNG OF THE CAPITAL

Nor is sport missing from his agenda.

"

I like to do all of Madrid Río by bike

, in two hours, and

go

jogging

with my dog ​​in the Casa de Campo

. I also go to the gym".

ALL A 'FOODIE'

If he has to recommend a place to eat, he moves through different environments, from three Michelin stars to fast snacks.

"In

Mercado de la Reina

like a scandal

, DiverXo makes me enjoy a lot and Amazónico seems to me to be a curious place".

For drinks, no doubt: "Museo Chicote is one of those mythical places to visit at least once."

NIGHT LEISURE

When it's time to go out, he doesn't go to clubs anymore, but he has had a great time in the Sala Clamores.

"In Tempo Audiophile Club I saw a jazz concert that I really enjoyed and

the old

Café Berlin

is a classic where I was stuck every week."

He fondly remembers the Galileo Galilei room.

AN ART LOVER

His favorite museum is the Prado.

"Unmissable. If you come to Madrid you can't miss it."

And he declares himself a fan of

ARCO: "For three years I have always gone to the appointment

and I have friends in a WhatsApp group that we get together to go and it is very fun."

There is also an art gallery that inspires you: Gärna Studio Gallery.

He laughs because he thinks it's going to sound like a cliché, but his cover image would be in El Retiro.

"Or at my house. It's my favorite place in the world."

Right now he watches several series at the same time: "The second season of

Euphoria

is freaking me out, I'm with

Tell me who I am

and

Ozark

seems impressive to me. It's hard for me to sleep and when I try to disconnect or start watching an episode or spend hours with a book. Also in the dead time in the trips, in trains and airplanes".

YOUR IDEAL STORE

Wear an Ecoalf t-shirt: "Because there is no planet B".

And there is another eco

store

where he would stay for hours.

"La Nodriza, which is on Calle de los Caños del Peral and has fashion and food.

The shirts are super cool, I went there two weeks ago and bought two,

even if they were a bit expensive, and I had tea with homemade biscuits that I loved".
