Latin
Settled
34 years ago in Costa Rica, where he went into exile in 1977, Goizueta came to show their latest album, which meets with Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy, Luis Eduardo Aute, Luis Salinas, Jairo, Víctor Heredia and Marcelo Boccanera, among others. By Cristian Vitale



Flight complicated. Adrián Goizueta Costa Rica went quiet, but when he arrived in Buenos Aires, he found that his guitar was not with him. A "workstation"-well-defined with a system that triggers midi synth strings and flutes, and it is inevitable to expose their music. "It was terrible headache because I would have been impossible to do what I came to do," he says. In the end, and after several discussions with people of TACA, the airline which brought him, the instrument appeared and inspired Argentine singer-songwriter, based 34 years ago in the Caribbean country can do what you came to do: show their latest album, Duets soul. It will be tonight at the Old Market Theatre (Lavalle 3177) and perhaps has some of the musicians who accompanied him in this work defined as a "big hug Latin America." No Luis Enrique Mejia Godoy and Luis Eduardo Aute, for obvious geographical reasons, but, if the hours close, Luis Salinas, Jairo, Víctor Heredia or Boccanera Marcelo, Argentina leg of this embrace that Goizueta took three years to close. "It was delayed because the idea for this album was not to make a track online and to send a voice above. All items were made of truth, looking into his eyes, and it was something I made clear to the Universal: I was not interested a duet album for convenience. Hence the name related to friendship and commitment, "he explains.

soul Duets features 18 songs, all composed by Goizueta, framed by a shaft aesthetic which he translates as "popular music developed, and seasoned by figures with which the singer was locking relationship after 30 years of making music . "He was giving everything in a very spontaneous, because the people who participate do so at their own volition. Even, most of them have chosen the topics they sing: Aute, for example, opted for poetry that musicalicé Mario Benedetti ("One Day"), and Jairo did the duet when he invited me to sing "Good morning" to him during a show in Costa Rica. The next day we went to record it in the studio, and sang as if he had sung all my life. I think it is a particular album, because it escapes the typical commercial concept of the stamps has to do with associating different artists and add them to determine things half monstrous "risk.

- Cases?

I do not know ... when I see Enrique Iglesias with Sting I want to die (laughs). I think here we all share a vision about things: hope, utopia, the desire ... in order.

-Among the stories before each song in the film tells the disk, is suggestive of how Luis Salinas "pressured" to participate in the work. Typical

-Luis: When he calls he never says hello! (Laughter.) I was in Costa Rica, when he called me and said, "Why I am not on this album, if they are all my friends and also you're friend?". I, of course, I asked him who he was and then I revealed her identity. "Are you Luis Salinas? Well, you're going to be. "

-Surprise Silvio Rodriguez is not taking into account that, among other things, it was he who introduced Aute ...

"Yes. With Silvio have done many things together as the people will overcome the film for El Salvador. But in this case was not the meeting because it coincided with an era in which Silvio was a bit away from the musical production. I thought it wise not to bother.

Goizueta had to leave the country in 1977 at age 21. "Either I was or I was going" sums. The cause is not hard to guess: Beyond having studied harmony with Sebastián Piana, or been part of rock-beat "second line" called Aspirin, Peronism was active in the prey base and was safe state terrorism. Once installed in Costa Rica, randomly-chosen destination, he entered the Conservatory, he taught harmony and instrumentation at the National University of the country, armed Experimental group was part of April in Managua, released over 20 albums and was making friends with many of the musicians participating in the soul duets. "We're kind of wrestlers within a cultural context in which a kind of raw unwelcome label penetration. In Costa Rica, for example, suffered very closely the permanent imposition of Televisa and the whole concept of success that comes armed to the record companies themselves or imposed on the media itself to Shakira or churches. Although it pains me to say, I saw that this also happens in Cuba ... is difficult to put a theme in a radio Silvio Havana. "

"What a paradox, the poet of the revolution ...

-Paradoxical, yes. I have had to travel to Cuba and ask where is Paul?, Where is Silvio, what happened? There's even a special new breed of musicians who also have space. I think there is a wrong concept of what it means to run a media massively. Still, we're going to escape that and still alive, keep doing things by memory and freedom in Latin America.
