A country to listen to
Asturias (1x3)
: 19, 2019
A COUNTRY TO HEAR IT rises from south to north in its third episode. Ariel Rot arrives now in Asturias to know its places and sounds by the hand of a rock myth like Jorge Martínez, leader of Ilegales. With him we will discover, on the slopes of the church of Santa María del Naranco, a man who has turned upside down Asturian folklore: Rodrigo Cuevas. And, in the same city, a woman who has more or less done the same without pretending: Lorena Álvarez.
We will meet at the Niemeyer Center of Avilés with the most important figure that popular Asturian music has given, Víctor Manuel. The veteran singer-songwriter will remember part of his career and introduce us to a new figure of the traditional tune, Marisa Valle Roso. And in Gijón, we will attend the restless indie rock drive that the city has always developed. You could not miss Nacho Vegas, who will share songs (unpublished!) And conversation at the port with his most famous heir, Pablo Und Destruktion. In one of its most emblematic concert halls, our two protagonists will talk about rock (and they will play it) with one of the musicians who knows best how to reflect on it, Igor Paskual. And, to finish the play, we will witness the generational change that is taking place in that movement that became known as Xixón Sound. Mar Álvarez (Pauline on the Beach, Undershakers, Petit Pop) will introduce her music school to the youngest and introduce us to her first flagship group, Las Eléctricas. To finish the play, Jorge will take us to his rehearsal room to show the excellent form that his group maintains, Illegales.
